Since you say that, I wanted to ask: is there a way to make Penlight
compatible with its own "strict" module?

What I mean is that using the latest version of Penlight in LuaRocks
(0.9.5-1) I get:

    > require "pl.strict"
    > require "pl"
    /usr/share/lua/5.1/pl/utils.lua:230: variable 'pack' is not 
declared
    stack traceback:
