Yes, patching the parser is perfectly feasible, but Lua fundamentally
likes encodings that degrade gracefully into ASCII --- so if you were to
use an encoding such as UTF-8 rather than GB2312 it might make your life
easier. (Because all non-ASCII UTF-8 characters turn into strings of
high-bit bytes, which Lua will quietly pass through unchanged. You don't
need to special-case them the way you have to with GB2312.)
