Module lua 

The Lua rule catalogue. Spec §2.

The same constructs the other catalogues cover, mapped onto Lua’s tree. Reading this against rule/go.rs is the point, because the two answer four of the same questions differently:

• A module becomes a nested table where Go’s becomes a name prefix. A Go package is a directory and cannot nest inside one file; a Lua table nests, so ::common::util::Location stays M.common.util.Location and the IDL scope survives the mapping.
• A struct becomes a descriptor and a constructor, not a type. Lua declares nothing, so there is no node for the shape itself — what the rule creates is the table that describes it and the function that builds one.
• An enumeration becomes two maps and an ordered list, where Go gets a defined integer type and one constant per enumerator. Lua has no constant and no defined type; a name-to-value map, its inverse and the declaration order are the three facts an enumerator carries, and each is a table entry.
• A typedef has a rule here and declares nothing. Lua has no alias to write, so what the rule creates is an entry in the descriptor table naming the target — which is the only place a typedef is recoverable from the generated file at all.
