A basic Lua is simple enough and changes rarely, it is therefor well
supported by most Linux distros. This makes the need for a dedicated
docker image less pressing. E.g., this works fine:

    FROM alpine
    RUN apk add --no-cache lua5.3 luarocks
    CMD ["lua5.3"]

Putting something like this up as an official image would be overkill.
That being said, it *would* be nice to just write `FROM lua:5.3.5`
instead.
