The idea was to skip parsing altogether and just load binary scripts, leaving the possibility of removing the parser from the library, which is a 35% reduction in the size of the Lua core according to Luiz.

Unstripped it seems, stripped I get 112 bytes... unstripped I get 143 bytes (on Lua 5.3w2).

However, I wouldn't exactly call that a "real world" example... though I notice my request for real world examples isn't in the post you quoted.
