I looked at the code in path.lua,
lr_path = lr_path.. ";" .. package.path
lr_cpath = lr_cpath .. ";" .. package.cpath
and realized that such a change would alter the behaviour in a
backwards-incompatible way. Currently `luarocks path` depends
on the existing environment (LUA_PATH, LUA_CPATH); using ";;"
the output would be independent of the environment.

This work-around has the same effect without any changes:
eval `luajit /usr/bin/luarocks path`
