If /* ... */ were adopted, I think // should be too, with -- maybe removed in
Lua 6. Otherwise, -# ... #- is always a possibility, but I can't think of a
good string syntax to match. Maybe use #- ... -# and #" ... "#? That's nicely
consistent and extends readily to ###- ... -###.

Are you sure? * and / are both binary-only operators in Lua, so I don't see
how they could appear in sequence.
Incidentally, whoever it was who mentioned syntax highlighting, couldn't you
just consider
--[[ ... ]]
--[*[ ... ]*]
--[**[ ... ]**]
etc., up to to say 20, to be independent comment syntaxes?
