Thanks.

It doesn't handle block comments quite correctly.

--[[ This is a valid block comment, but handled incorrectly
]]

The following change appears to fix this behavior:

...
        Identifier = "xcode.lang.lua.comment";
        Syntax = {
            Start = "--[[";
            End = "]]";
...

Note that you can't block-comment like this (nested) (Lua says it's
deprecated):

--[[	This is a comment
	[[ This was supposed to be a string inside the comment ]]
]]	--	This should close the comment

The syntax-coloring doesn't know how to handle the following either:

[=[ This is a string ]=]

I'll probably just stick with SubEthaEdit.
