Some have been using "batteries" to refer to roughly the set of well
regarded libraries seen in distributions like LuaForWindows ("Lua for
Windows is a 'batteries included environment' for the Lua scripting
language on Windows").  It includes more focused libraries like
luasocket, luafilesystem, LuaBitOp, lpeg, etc., many of which I find
harder to live without than the so-called standard libraries
(penlight, stdlib, etc...).  Members of the former set tend to do one
thing and do it right.  The latter set I've been more apprehensive
about (and haven't actually used beyond experimentation).
