Hi guys,

I've noted recently that people on Unix-like operating systems are
getting a little suprised by the semantic difference between 'luarocks
install XXX' and 'sudo luarocks install XXX'.  Setting up a new Debian
system, I walked into this issue, because being mostly a Windows
person I tend to use luarocks in a non-superuser way.  Unless there's
a special reason, generally people want the sudo install, because
things will work as they expect.

So some kind of warning that a rock will be installed locally and not
globally would be useful.  It can of course be disabled by yet another
configuration flag ;)
