Description:
LPeg is a new pattern-matching library for Lua, based on Parsing
Expression Grammars (PEGs). Parsing expression grammars look
similar to regular expressions or context-free grammars in
Backus-Naur form (BNF) notation. PEGs make a good replacement for
regular expressions, because they are strictly more powerful. For
example, a regular expression inherently cannot find matched pairs
of parentheses, because it is not recursive, but a PEG can.
