It would be useful (and interesting) if you could give us examples of
the transformations you need to apply to source.
If they're simple, then a lexical macro preprocessor like LuaMacro
could do the job (macros may execute arbitrary Lua code and can
temporarily take over stream processing - "reader macros").
Deep syntactical macros remain MetaLua's claim to fame....
