Re: New long comments in 5.1

How about:

The TERMINATOR may never contains ']]'.

This will make single line things work (as above) and:

--[[
multiline comment
my favorite style :)
]]--

(the terminating -- is of course optional, but I like them for visual 
symmetry :)

--[[my.html
<HTTP>...whatever
my.html]]

If one wants, '*'s can be used as terminators:

--[[***
***]]
