Hi Zep! :)

0.2.5g: In non-C-style for loops, if a multi-line comment is opened/closed before the first variable declaration, without trailing whitespace before the variable name, it will throw a syntax error. All other situations seem to be okay:

--[[ok]]foo = --[[ok]]{1}

--ok
for --[[ok]]i=0,1 do
    print(foo[i])
end

for --[[ok]] v in all(foo) do
    print(v)
end

for --[[ok]] k, --[[ok]]v in pairs(foo) do
    print(v)
end

for --[[ok]] k, --[[ok]]v in ipairs(foo) do
    print(v)
end

--not ok
for --[[oops]]v in all(foo) do
    print(v)
end

for --[[oops]]k, --[[ok]]v in pairs(foo) do
    print(v)
end

for --[[oops]]k, --[[ok]]v in ipairs(foo) do
    print(v)
end

I wonder how vanilla lua handles these.

Edit: Well, the lua 5.3.4 that I apparently installed on this PC at some point says they're all ok.

@Felice Oops, thx, I forgot to mention I tried it on 5.4 and found it was legal. I would normally never shove comments in the middle of a line like this but Shrinko8 annotations require it

Same with:

function --[[oops]]f() end

Fileinput, it appears.Generate is what FileInput is. As a result, it can only be iterated over once until all elements are eaten and executing the next method of the object raises StopIteration.
