Re: Which parts of Lua C-code handle string literals and multi-line comments?

[Lars Müller <appgurulars@...>]

That's lexing (llex.{c,h}). If you want to embark on a language design
and implementation journey, I recommend grabbing a good book, such as
Crafting Interpreters (https://craftinginterpreters.com/). It will also
help you understand the structure of the Lua sources and the feasibility
of (your) proposed syntax.
