Comment # 34 on bug 10881 from 
Reading through all the reviews and email discussions on -dev I think adding
Lua 5.3 support would be beneficial, for the reasons Peter explained:
https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/201608/msg00147.html

I think emitting a warning from init.lua when Lua 5.3 is used would also be
useful to clear confusion. I think something like this would suffice:

"Warning! Wireshark's Lua API with Lua 5.3 and 5.2 are different due to the
differences in the Lua language. The API for Lua 5.3 is experimental.

The officially supported Lua version is 5.2, thus if you would like to 
ensure your scripts' compatibility with other installation use Lua 5.2.

This warning can be disabled in init.lua."
