That is probably true. However, there is something
more important
about /usr/local/lib (or /usr/lib) which is that it
is read-only.
Consequently, if you build a system which automatically
byte-compiles
and caches .lc files, python-style, the cached files
should go
in /var/local/cache/<something>; to support
that mechanism, you need
to have the cache directory in the Lua search path.
