I believe Luiz already posted they are planning to add the --[[ ... ]]
syntax to allow commenting several lines at once.
It will be "recursive", ie. such comments can embed similar comments.
This can be troublesome to syntax highlight for some editors.
BTW, even as this is not yet implemented (I think), I will try and add this
to the Scintilla Lua lexer, to see how hard it is. Should be OK, since we
already manage embedded literal strings.

Regards.
