 Note that future versions of Lua extend the Lua 5.1 syntax with the following features; with the exception of the string literals, these are **not** supported by Luau:
 
-- hexadecimal (`\x`), Unicode (`\u`) and `\z` escapes for string literals
 - goto statements and labels
 - bitwise operators
 - floor division operator (`//`)
