<h1>Module <code>pl.luabalanced</code></h1>
<p>Extract delimited Lua sequences from strings.</p>
<p> Inspired by Damian Conway's Text::Balanced in Perl. <br/>

   <li>[1] <a href="http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaBalanced">Lua Wiki Page</a></li>
   <li>[2] http://search.cpan.org/dist/Text-Balanced/lib/Text/Balanced.pm</li>
 </ul> <br/>
 <pre class=example>
 local lb = require "pl.luabalanced"
 --Extract Lua expression starting at position 4.
  print(lb.match_expression("if x^2 + x > 5 then print(x) end", 4))
  --> x^2 + x > 5     16
 --Extract Lua string starting at (default) position 1.
 print(lb.match_string([["test\"123" .. "more"]]))
 --> "test\"123"     12
