Personally I want to see a -path and -cpath added to the stock Lua
REPL for adding paths at `lua' invocation.  It'd also be nice to have
a -r for automatically doing a require().  You could just have a
module called pause that calls io.read(), waiting for any character
input.  Would also be nice to have a flag for executing a bit of Lua
after the auto-require()'s but before the script run.  And a flag for
"on close", so you could again do the io.read() thing another way.
Which of these ideas stick?

PS: I think Ctrl + F5 in VS keeps the window open after the process terminates?
