The problem is if you write a plugin for others to use, requiring them to
compile code is a high bar to expect.  So if it's more than just another
pure lua lib which doesn't need c-code to be compiled, as a file/dir
accessor would need, it's tough. :(


I agree (?)... or perhaps I'm not following. ;)

I *think* Guy was proposing the Wireshark Lua API included the
LuaFileSystem library (or a wrapper around it) out of the box, which is
something already done with Lua BitOp [1][2], so users wouldn't have to
explicitly compile it themselves. Or were you referring to something else?
