Yes. With shared lib, LuaRocks makes easy to extend Lua. But Lua is not only extensible, Lua is also embeddable. For example, a project like Textadept (http://foicica.com/textadept/) embeds lua as lib, lfs and lpeg. Building this kind of project could be easy if LuaRocks creates static lib for lfs and lpeg, and installs them in the same place as lualib (and includes with lua.h).
