Re: Vim syntax and indent for Lua 4 and 5

[Andre Costa <brblueser@...>]

Hi Marcus,

this is excellent news, thks for tackling this -- I've been wanting to
do this for ages, but always postponed it...

I have already installed your files here (vim 6.1) and will report any
probls I find, if any. Looking forward to seeing them on the next vim
version ;)

Best,

Andre
