what's an white-space?That term only appears once in the whole manual
and it doesn't seem to come with a definition. As such, idk how to write
a Lua parser.


Lua 5.4 manual defines white-space:
In source code, Lua recognizes as spaces the standard ASCII white-space characters:
space, form feed, newline, carriage return, horizontal tab, and vertical tab. 

This matches to the subset of Unicode white-space characters (WSpace=yes)
from the range U+0000..U+007F
