Re: parse hex numerals [PATCH]

[LEGO <luis.ontanon@...>]

I used  5.0.2 so i noticed there the lack of hex, My instinct told me
to look for hex in the lexer of the new release... as read_numeral()
there would not take an hex I assumed lua didn't so I changed it...

Good thing there's hex already, It was fun anyway going back to the
basics so it wasn't a complete loss of time.
