The interactive interpreter in Lua 5.0 does not have or need this: it
automatically identifies when a statement is complete.

Lua 4.0 contains man pages on the interactive interpreter at doc/lua.1 and
doc/lua.html. I don't know why this wasn't on the site, but I have put it
now at http://www.lua.org/manual/lua.html . There are man pages for luac too.
