Re: hex numerical literals in 5.1

["Todor Totev" <umbra.tenebris@...>]

Hello,
The only thing I care right now is the possibility to enter hexadecimal
numbers in my scripts and give them as parameters to C functions.
And to print them of course but Roberto already made the neccessary
changes for that :-)
At this time I need not to use bit operations, so that collisions
with operators do not affect me.
Anyway, in Lua+ distribution I found a module that exports
bit operations as regular functions and I can use it if need to.
I think that for occasional use of bit operations this is the best  
solution.
Thanks for the note,

Todor
