Yes, it's no coincedence that this is a subset of lua, because until now
I just do some trivial rewriting and feed the data to loadstring(). The
problem is that in future versions of the application the input for
these files can come from untrusted sources, and I'd like to create a
more robust solution to avoid problems caused by unexpected input like
neverending loops.
