Talk to the NodeMCU people. Lua is used in a huge number of 
places. NodeMCU is a downstream implementation and the things you 
want fixed is within the purview of NodeMCU, and not something 
that Lua itself is responsible for.

It might help if you offer them a patch, because NodeMCU is a 
hobbyist app, it's not something with professional quality control 
and thus will definitely have many dusty corners.
