If we have download times from luarocks respo (or moonrocks),     
    sum(download_times * counts_of_package_call) 
would be something interesting as an utility matrix.

- I have always been thinking/wishing a programming language that would 
involve with more 'measurement/feedbacks' from its usage, then we may 
have some means to improve based on numbers/facts (putting more 
resources there).
