Isn't luarocks/stdlib an attempt at this? (It even has a math.round).
Perhaps, all that's needed is for this library to be controlled by an
officially endorsed committee? Maybe even bundling it with the main
distribution of Lua, although this would probably mean including
luarocks too. It could be done by modifying the make script of Lua to
fetch and install luarocks+stdlib. Of course with an optional
build-switch.
