`math.sin alpha` would already not work with my proposal as only
number-literals would be allowed.
I am not talking about any values just the literals. It directly follows
the string and table-constructor versions.

so `math.sin 0.5 + alpha` would be allowed, as it is equal to
`math.sin(0.5) + alpha`.
It cannot be `math.sin(0.5 + alpha)` as the patch provided, just copies
the behaviour of string and table-constructor versions.
`print "a" .. "b"` is equal to `print("a") .. "b"` and is already legal
syntax (it will raise an error btw).
The patch I provided is the exact behaviour wanted.

I tried to set up Thunderbird, but it keeps reflowing and putting
non-breaking spaces in my mails.
I want to set up `mail` with this mail account on an alpine wsl image. I
just don't know how.
Any idea? (Is this even possible?)
