Hello,

take the following PlainTeX file:

%&luatex
\def\recatcode#1{%
        \directlua0{%
                tex.sprint('\luaescapestring{\unexpanded{#1}}')%
                texio.write_nl('\luaescapestring{\unexpanded{#1}}')%
        }%
}

\recatcode{%
        \def\test#1{`#1'}%
}

\bye


This results in

This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.30.0-2008093018 (Web2C 7.5.7)

                 1{`##1'}
\recatcode ...uaescapestring {\unexpanded {#1}}')}

So `#' is transformed into `##' when passed from TeX to Lua. Is this a
bug or a feature?
