+RPM-LUA(7)
+
+# NAME
+
+rpm-lua - RPM embedded Lua interpreter
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+%scriptlet -p <lua>
+
+%{lua:...}
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+RPM includes an embedded Lua interpreter for advanced *rpm-macroproc*(7) and
+special install-scriptlets needs.

Yep, we ended up with a few of such noun artifacts due to the late rename of rpm-macros(7) to rpm-macroproc(7), the latter of which doesn't work at all in this kind of use.

The reason for the language being like that is that the cases where you want/need Lua in scriptlets *are* rather exotic and nothing the beginning packager needs to be aware of. But okay, "advanced macros and install scriptlets" is maybe more like it.
