Well, before posting my question, I've googled up "luasocket unix
domain socket". The results did not told me anything about luasocket
support for them, except this page:
http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~diego/professional/luasocket/old/luasocket-2.0-beta/,
which says that there is no support. I didn't noticed that this is a
old beta page (that's my fault).

So, here is what I think:

1. LuaSocket docs should mention that LuaSocket supports Unix Domain
Sockets on platforms there they exist.
2. If there would be a module documentation for them, it would be even
better, and should help googling.
3. Since I'm trying to live in LuaRocks ecosystem for my current
project, I'd like to have a rock that enables the Unix Domain Socket
support in LuaSocket. (Or is there an easy way to add it on top by
hands?)
