Can I suggest you make the syntax such that a script is but one option?
I can see a good case for (e.g.) triggering a little lua to run, which
would not involve a fork() and be much faster. Clearly someone else would
have to code that bit, but generalising this might be useful. This way
you could get your lua to filter out 99% of things before running
(e.g.) a script. We have some experience integrating lua things and
whilst I can't guarantee it, we may be prepared to take a look.
