Also it would be great if Lua binding could perform parser functions. I
believe that Extension:WikiScripts uses parser frame and can use current
template parameters, when available:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiScripts
Template library (tpl_) allows the script to access the parser and the
parameters of the template that invokes the script.
tpl_arg( argname[, default] ) returns the argument which name is
specified as an argument, or the default value if it is not set (if no
default is specified, it returns false).
tpl_named_args() returns all the named arguments to the template.
tpl_numbered_args() returns all the numbered arguments.
tpl_is_transcluded() returns whether the code is invoked from a
template.
