Tables without commas

[Pedro Miller Rabinovitch <pedro@...>]

Hello all,

	just felt like sharing something with the group. For some 
reason, I wanted to specify tables like this:

	myThing = {
		name = "Thing"
		use = "none"
		owner = idPersona
	}

No commas, just like {X,HT}ML attribute lists or anything like that.

I quickly patched lparser.c (see below), and it seems to be working 
pretty nicely, at least for the cases I tried (I'm not in possession 
of any unit tests over here). The only thing people should look out 
for is stuff like:

	a = { strlen "aaa" }

...which will match the expression and set a[1] to be 4, and *not* to 
function `strlen'. The next does, though:

	a = { (strlen) "aaa" }

Anyway. It's a toy for whoever wants it. It just ain't Lua no more. ;)

Please do warn me if you see any blatant problems with this that I 
did not realize. Thanks.

	Pedro.
