Re: Modifier ? in lua pattern matching

Why do you need to parse those expressions with patterns?
Why not execute them, given that they are valid Lua code?
Try this:

setmetatable(_G,{ __index= function(t,v)
		return function (...) print(v,...) end
	end })

function try(s)
	assert(loadstring(s))()
end

try"DATETIME()"		-- had to add () here...
try"VARCHAR(10)"
try"FLOAT(10,2)"
