Lua strings accept numerical escapes as a "\ddd" sequence, where ddd is 1-3 decimal digits (see Lua Manual, "Lexical Conventions"). This patch makes the parser tolerate escape sequences starting with a digit, copying them to the output as-is. Note that they're not validated in this case.

This (partly) fixes #4. Lua 5.2+ also recognizes Regards, NiteHawk |
"esc" isn't reused, so there is no need for a local variable. The second test thus essentially is if not CharacterForEscape[c3] then ... And we also don't need to string.match() for digits on c3 when we have the Digits[c3] table lookup readily available.
