   Names may be better than numbers. Lua-style indexing from 1
shouldn't matter much as most of Scintilla indexes from 0.

   Its easier to write C++ code to parse some text than to read from
Lua structures.

   If you are relying on Lua structures than you can just use a
literal table { "ichi", "ni", "san" } and not worry about "\n"
delimiters. Then its easy to use existing tables of strings.
