So how much broken Lua is out there in the wild on WMF wikis?

Scribunto has an option to allow code to be saved even
if it contains
syntax errors that prevent it from ever working. The original reason for
this feature was to make it more convenient to save incomplete code.
However, in practice, this has never been used for its intended purpose,
and users who don't know any Lua are breaking otherwise-functional modules
with it. Because of this, and because it's easy enough to save incomplete
code by simply wrapping it all in a multiline comment, I plan to remove the
option unless objections are raised.
