Hi Taco, though luatex isn't frozen yet, I think that many people are using it already and drastic changes are not desirable. There is one thing which could probably be improved without breaking existing scripts, as far as I can see: string.explode(foo, ' +') expects that ' ' is a space token (ASCII 0x20). Is it possible to change string.explode() so that ' ' can be either a space token (ASCII 0x20) or a tabulator (ASCII 0x09) without breaking existing scripts?
