Yes, it's very much possible to do these things with lua. But to me these operations are quite common and to involve lua scripts is a bit of a hassle instead o having a extra flag etc. The simplicity of tup somehow get lost when I need to write my own lua scripts for common operations. But maybe they are only common for me. These improvements would make things easier for lua newbies like me and probably easier when porting from other buildsystems.
