What about locale? In Lua, identifiers can be made of any letters (and digits) and what is a letter is decided basing on locale. Will it be possible to use non-english or even non-latin characters in scripts?
Note that Lua 5.2 removed the support for non-ASCII characters in identifiers. I don't know whether Scribunto will allow non-ASCII characters in identifiers currently, but it would be best to stick with ASCII anyway.
Note this only applies to identifiers (e.g. variable names). Strings and comments may contain literal UTF-8 characters without issue, and the mw.ustring library is available to manipulate them.
