It would annoy me.

I write many functions like the following:

function fun(_ENV)
  return x^2+y+2<=r^2
end

Tihs proposal will break my programs by forcing me to write that second line as

  return \x^2+\y+2<=\r^2

One should not fight one's favorite programming language, but instead
turn its peculiarities into features.

Please fork Lua, call your version Луна and leave contented Lua lovers in peace.
