No :-(

The rockspec says

    dependencies = {
      "lua ~> 5.1"
    }

and the code doesn't even build for Lua 5.1 without compatibility 
switches on (because it uses `luaL_reg`). I don't know how much work it 
would be to port it to Lua 5.2. I consider libraries not yet ported to 
be unmaintained and stay clear of them if possible, so I only took a 
very brief look ...
