Hello Kevin,
I don't know if it's a good idea that something like vert or Moonbox to be
part of the core of the package manager.
I'm aware of the benefits of having reproducible environments and isolation
of versions (that's the reason I wrote Moonbox) but adding more things to
something that works (LuaRocks) increase the complexity of everything and
maybe it's not a feature that everyone wants.
Moonbox do both things, can install rocks from a file and inside this
directory handle versioning isolation (modify your current path to work
with the local installed versions).
Regards
