mod_lua r:regex pattern strings

[Mark Taylor <mt...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I spent some time trying to figure out why 'something/(\w+)' wasn't
matching my uri, but [[something/(\w+)]] does.  This, \w is not one of the
listed valid escape characters, but does in fact seem to be escaped to
something.  Does anyone have an explanation for this behavior? Is it simply
a Lua feature?

Thanks!
Mark
