@jasontibbitts: %luamacro would need to be implemented as a co-routine because
of rpm's embedded lua interpreter has a persistent global environment.
That is very different than shell code, where a sub-shell inherits but cannot
change its parent's environment. With rpm+lua, all lua invocations run in the
same globally persistent environment.
That is/was actually the intended feature so that variables in the lua context
could be shared/passed between, say, %pre and %post scriptlets implemented
using embedded lua.
