Research direction

The issue names no files or tests and does not define the function's behavior. Start by locating the string library and the lexer entry point, then establish what lualex should do; done requires a documented behavior and verification of the resulting function.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Not sure exactly what it does but it appears to call into the lexer somehow.
