Are you aware of the LUA_INIT environment variable? It might enable you
to load your syntax extensions before the main program is run without
having to explicitly require the syntax extensions through the -l
command line argument every time you run a script that uses syntax
extensions. See http://lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#6
