It was thus said that the Great Soni L. once stated:
As you may or may not know by now, regex can do basic arithmetic, with
unary integers.[1] Can LPeg do better, say with binary integers, or
binary floats, or even full-blown decimal?
   Yup.  You can do the regex approach with a substitution capture
(lpeg.Cs()) or even a full blown calculator (there's an example on the LPeg
web page).
Too bad it's not pure LPeg, instead deferring to a Lua function for it.
   -spc (For more fun, write an LPeg expression that can run compiled Lua
	code ... )
