I went with Augusto’s suggestion and removed the documentation
command.

Fixed here and for the startfile and command line options.

Fixed.

Fixed.

Changed to lua-ts-inferior-*

Removed.

I like the way o-m-m folds the header sections of elisp files and
since my lua files often start with a multi-line comment containing
similar information I added it to get that effect in lua too.

Fixed.
