Re: Lua parser implementations in Lua?

[Mark Hamburg <mhamburg@...>]

Another benefit of a standard representation for Lua parse trees and a way
to generate them would be that it might pave the way to implementing a
Lisp-like macro system for Lua. See various essays on Paul Graham's web site
(http://www.paulgraham.com/) for example
(http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html) for discussions of why macros are
potentially so valuable.
