At the top of a binary chunk appears information about the platform,
e.g. endianness, sizes of various integer types and so on. Would it
be possible to write a cross-recompiler exploiting Lua 5.3's string
pack/unpack that would convert bytecode for the same Lua version
from one architecture to another?
