| 87 | | 1. The `lua` port installs a 5.3 binary in `/opt/local/bin/lua` that appears to be similar, but not identical, to the `/opt/local/bin/lua5.3` binary installed by the `lua53` port. |

| 90 | | 1. Building `neovim` is breaking because it links against the `lua.h` provided by the `lua` port (currently 5.3), which is incompatible with neovim and luajit. |
| 91 | | 1. `luarocks` always runs against the version of lua installed by the `lua` port, because its shebang is `/opt/local/bin/lua`, which is (currently) lua 5.3 by design of the `lua` port. |
| 92 | | a. This remains true even if running `luarocks-5.n` because the versioned copies are all symlinks to the same `luarocks` script. |
| 93 | | a. The `luarocks-5.n` symlinks are therefore not likely useful and/or probably broken for their intended purpose. |
| 94 | | 1. `luarocks` always manages packages in `/opt/local/share/lua/5.3` because this value is hard-coded in the script. |
