Thanks for this wonderful overview!  The \* escape reminded me of a
construction that I once used in a template language to denote literal
multi-line strings: all white space between an embedded '\n' up to and
including the next ':' character was skipped.  That allowed to have
nicely indented code/html snippets like so:

local text = "int foo ()
             :{
             :    return 5;
             :}
             :"

Bye,
Wim
