This ends up being the tricky bit, but you did some interesting work in that direction..... the most common kind of module documentation is LuaDoc style[1] - it would need to scrape such comments (and cache) to supply interactive docs. (ldoc itself is too heavyweight a dependency)   Binary modules would need to provide a .luadoc file.

Did you see my other post today. This topic has gone off into things along the same lines. I even have a Lua REPL in intelliJ with most of these features.

Name resolution is a really hard problem for anything but lexicals.
