The biggest plus I see for it is when translating/remaking an app that use Lua
for scripting into Euphoria. Lua is one of the "de facto" scripting languages in
use I've seen plugins written for Duke Nukem 3D, DarkBASIC, GIMP, and others.
Since it's so widespread it makes sence that we'd want it for Euphoria
applications as well. Sure, Euphoria as a scripting language would be great but
many apps use Lua and people expect Lua.
