Hello Martin, thanks for your additional insights.=20

Works on my machine:=20

  $ lua=20
  Lua 5.5.1  Copyright (C) 1994-2026 Lua.org, PUC-Rio=20
  > [[ \ntest\n]]=20
   \ntest\n=20
  >=20


Could test quickly 5.5.1 using `mise`, latest it enabled me to try was=20
5.5.0 where I got:

$lua=20
Lua 5.5.0 Copyright (C) 1994-2025 Lua.org, PUC-Rio

stdin:2: unexpected symbol near '[[]]'

>BTW there are no magic (cursed) sequences in long Lua literals.=20

Not sure what you mean here, but in my previous examples I didn=E2=80=99t m=
ean I=20
used any magic sequence, the "\n" was actually literal new lines. So to=20
make it clear, the test conducted was more like `echo -e '[[\ntest\n]]' |=
=20
lua`,  which ends up (in all configurations I was able to try) with
lua: stdin:3: unexpected symbol near '[[test
]]'
