/**
* @fileoverview
* Registers a language handler for Lua.
*
*
* To use, include prettify.js and this file in your HTML page.
* Then put your code in an HTML tag like
* <pre class="prettyprint lang-lua">(my Lua code)</pre>
*
*
* I used http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#2.1
* Because of the long-bracket concept used in strings and comments, Lua does
* not have a regular lexical grammar, but luckily it fits within the space
* of irregular grammars supported by javascript regular expressions.
