+Change Lua to use GUIX_LUA_PATH and GUIX_LUA_CPATH to construct the default
+LUA_PATH and LUA_CPATH, instead of using hard-coded paths that Guix doesn't
+populate.
+
+These paths don't use Lua's usual '?' path wildcard, and thus are compatible
+with Guix's search-paths mechanism.
+
+This patch uses functions defined in lua-5.x-search-path-helpers.patch.
