Hey, In Lua 5.2 string literals could the backslash-newline escape code swallow the newline character rather than embedding it into the string? This would be similar to C's continuation lines. The motivation for me is that there doesn't seem to be a way of having really long string literals in a Lua source file split across multiple lines without extra runtime overhead. As far as I can tell, I either have to use shorter pieces and concatenate them at runtime, or add extra newlines to the string and remove them at runtime. Cheers, Joonas
