Lua 5.1 will bring a more general long comment:

Well, it's not exactly elegant...

And it will be hard to syntax hightlight correctly in SciTE, since we
either have to store somewhere the number of stars, or to backtrack the
source to find the start of the comment. This while still managing
nested comments...
Of course, this concern isn't the problem of Lua authors.
I believe the original idea is to cope with all cases, since anything
can go into the comments, increasing the number of stars should dodge
similar strings inside.
--[[ ]]-- is nice by its symetry, but one can imagine some cases where
it can fail. A bit articifial, but still possible:
--[[
myC_Code = "x = a[b[i]]--"
]]--
Glups...
