Alas, even '<>' is not super easy on every keyboard. I use
a US keyboard routinely and have been reduced to
a quivering jelly of panic-stricken incompetence every time
I visit a country in Europe, especially the ones north,
east and south of Vienna.

Fact remains, configuring one's keyboard to emit whatever
you like when you hit some key you otherwise never use,
is a skill that will be found useful elsewhere too. Your operating
system can apply it to all input situations. If that is too drastic,
the text editor you use for writing Lua code or the terminal you
use for running Lua interactively also support it. Just find out
how. Patching Lua or lobbying for changes to the Lua core is
not the answer. Educating yourself how to customize your
own system is.

It is not a Lua problem.
