But then we'd break backwards compatibility of Lua scripts.

Lua 5.3 is still very early, so Lua bitop might get patched to handle it; or I
can patch it if it doesn't get updated. (it's not a big change to fix it)

There are several changes in Lua 5.3 which might break compatibility in other
places too - I haven't tried it.
