There's one reason for doing it the *.lua stub-loader script way:
flexibility. This way any kind of dynamically loadable module can be 
used via a standard convention for the user. The script defines how the 
module is loaded. (This is important when the module is not core part of 
LuaCheia... )

Another is the fact that a LuaCheia module need by no means be a binary 
modules. It can be a Lua-only module, whatever.
