Would it be hard to make 'string.find()' return true numbers [...]
I think it's not a true good idea, I agree with some of the opinions in the other replies. Even so, it's a matter of adding some lines in "lstrlib.c", at the "push_onecapture" function:
static void push_onecapture (MatchState *ms, int i) {
 int l = ms->capture[i].len;
 if (l == CAP_UNFINISHED) luaL_error(ms->L, "unfinished capture");
 if (l == CAP_POSITION)
lua_pushnumber(ms->L, (lua_Number)(ms->capture[i].init - ms->src_init + 1));
 else {
 /* Code added here */
 double converted_number;
if (convert_strtodouble_ok(ms->capture[i].init, l, &converted_number)
 lua_pushnumber(ms->L, converted_number);
 else
 lua_pushlstring(ms->L, ms->capture[i].init, l);
 }
}
static int convert_strtodouble_ok(const char *string, size_t length, double *num)
{
 /*
* Fill with code here: try to convert with the strtod() C function, ad if it's OK
 * assign the converted number to *num, and return 1, else return 0.
 */
}
I have not tested this, but keep in mind that this is a sub-optimal approach: everytime a capture is pushed back to Lua it gets checked, and converted to number if possible. This is done for every capture (doing it only for "%d+" would need black magic!).
