Oh, that's fine. I've played a bit with the Lua lexer and parser, so
I'll find my way around. Plus the sources are in general easy to read
and to follow.

Yes, I've seen that. I will indeed concentrate on numericals as this is
far and away the largest group. And for the rest I can always mix and
match between C and Lua. Users of my library will just see these
constants: where and how these are expanded ain't none of their
business.

Once again, 'brigado!
