It _simplifies_ generator, a lot - you don't have to escape special  
characters
in the string, and search for longest ]===]s that are not in the
string so that you can quote it safely, you can embed zeroes, well, any  
binary data.
Also, you can use whatever binary data as variable names and table keys,
even the keywords, and Lua doesn't mind a bit.
