If the negative look-behind on “--” is to avoid “[[” in a comment, then just make a rule to match “--.*$” (or similar) and you won't need to resort to look-behind etc.
That's be begin = "--[[" for a multi-line comment with the same nesting as Michael Sheet showed (I seem to recall that multi-line comments can have some sort of nesting!?!)
Correct - Lua multi-line comments start with "--[[" and end with "]]", and (like multi-line strings) can contain nested [[ .. ]] pairs.
