You said you were playing with templating Francesco's code. Do share
if you find any particularly helpful tricks. I've just been using the
$() and # syntax in
http://snippets.luacode.org/snippets/Lua_Preprocessor_118, though
providing a preprocess function that takes an environment argument. A
simple helper for generating code in the form `local a = a; local b =
b; ... return function(...) ... end` has also cleaned things up a bit.
