Could you please clean it up? There is irrelevant stuff for 
hex-num-handling.

PS/ But You've found an interesting syntax. I have patched my source to 
handle

from some.pkg import name_0, ..., name_n

which is semantically equivalent to

local name_0, ..., name_n
do
 local pkg = require "some.pkg"
 name_0, ..., name_n = pkg.name_0, ..., pkg.name_n
end
