Parse error caused by inline block comments `--[[comment--]]` about luaparse HOT 4 CLOSED

Related issue (I think, as it uses inline block comments as well): this should throw an error:

$ lua
Lua 5.2.1  Copyright (C) 1994-2012 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> x=2--[[42--]]1; print(x)
stdin:1: unexpected symbol near '1'
>

But luaparse still parses it:

$ ./luaparse 'x=2--[[42--]]1; print(x)'
{"type":"Chunk","body":[{"type":"AssignmentStatement","variables":[{"type":"Identifier","name":"x"}],"init":[{"type":"NumericLiteral","value":2,"raw":"2"}]},{"type":"CallStatement","expression":{"type":"CallExpression","base":{"type":"Identifier","name":"print"},"arguments":[{"type":"Identifier","name":"x"}]}}],"comments":[{"type":"Comment","value":"42--","raw":"--[[42--]]1;"}]}

Note that luaparse incorrectly appends the trailing 1 to the comment’s raw value.

Keep them coming! I think this would have been obvious if I had ever written a line of lua, except for my tests hehe. Maybe it's about time to try it out

I can’t seem to find any more bugs :) In total I tested over 20k lines of random Lua code found on the intertubes, and the HEAD version of luaparse handles it all likes a boss. \o/

Awesome! There might be some though... so far I haven't been able to do any validity tests, but now thanks to luamin that's made possible. During the weekend I plan to test it properly.
