Re: patch: C-style string lexing

[Asko Kauppi <askok@...>]

This kind of breaking-the-standard-Lua extensions are suitable to  
luaSub, where each code chunk can have minor tweaks to itself,  
leaving others unaffected.

I, too, like the C string lexing, but on the other hand seem never to  
have really missed it in Lua.

Also the string folding at compile time could be given to luaSub to  
do, instead of troubling the core.

As to the state of luaSub, all major bugs in the C side are now  
solved, and half of the mods are passing self tests.
