Ultimately, I think it depends on how fragile you wish to allow 
your application to be. Even a C power patch for a few extra 
functions may break on certain platforms. For Lua-based methods, 
it's going to be kinda problematic if this involves an expectation 
of 'easy' portability unless there is very aggressive testing on 
lots of platforms...
