Very true, it's a frustrating thing. But many of those useful Lua
scripts are not interactive, they don't need anything from stdin.
Often their whole action is a side-effect on some files. Then the
problem is aesthetic, the dreaded black box flashing. For such
scripts, renaming them as .wlua solves the problem.  But I do see the
issue, however. Double-clicking is a world where the only verb you
have is 'run'!!
