[JW Lua] v0.67/Lua 5.4 report from Perfect Layout - solved it

[Jan Angermüller]

Could it be that there is some letter / letter combination that stops 
the search for plugindef? Maybe on Windows only?

When I only put a simple /if ... then end/  before plugindef(), it still 
works fine.
But in Perfect Layout the plugindef was somewhere on line 400 or so and 
that was not detected.
