That's nice, and very similar to mixlua[1] which I've used for the
same purpose. It is a C module which may not suit some, but its method
of operation is straight-forward and it's only a few hundred lines.
The advantage over the suggested preprocessor is mixlua will correctly
ignore instances of the delimiter in Lua comments of strings.
