Can you be a bit more specific? lua5.5 ships only a Lua interpreter
(and compiler), so, for
example lua5.5 i386 can be used to run Lua scripts on amd64.

May be multi-arch allowed would be better than foreign, but at least
some other packages
with interpreters are multi-arch foreign: tcl8.6 (and tcl9.0), bash.
perl and python are
multi-arch allowed though.
