// API Summary:
//
// LuaWrapper is a library designed to help bridge the gab between Lua and
// C++. It is designed to be small (a single header file), simple, fast,
// and typesafe. It has no external dependencies, and does not need to be
// precompiled; the header can simply be dropped into a project and used
// immediately. It even supports class inheritance to a certain degree. Objects
// can be created in either Lua or C++, and passed back and forth.
//
// The main functions of interest are the following:
//  luaW_is<T>
//  luaW_to<T>
//  luaW_check<T>
//  luaW_push<T>
//  luaW_register<T>
//  luaW_setfuncs<T>
//  luaW_extend<T, U>
//  luaW_hold<T>
//  luaW_release<T>
//
// These functions allow you to manipulate arbitrary classes just like you
// would the primitive types (e.g. numbers or strings). If you are familiar
// with the normal Lua API the behavior of these functions should be very
// intuative.
//

// Run luaW_register or luaW_setfuncs to create a table and metatable for your

// the table argument in addition to the functions new and build (This is
// generally for things you think of as static methods in C++). The given
// metatable argument becomes a metatable for each object of your class. These
// can be thought of as member functions or methods.
//
// You may also supply constructors and destructors for classes that do not
// have a default constructor or that require special set up or tear down. You
// may specify NULL as the constructor, which means that you will not be able
// to call the new function on your class table. You will need to manually push
// objects from C++. By default, the default constructor is used to create
// objects and a simple call to delete is used to destroy them.
//
// By default LuaWrapper uses the address of C++ object to identify unique
// objects. In some cases this is not desired, such as in the case of
// shared_ptrs. Two shared_ptrs may themselves have unique locations in memory
// but still represent the same object. For cases like that, you may specify an
// identifier function which is responsible for pushing a key representing your
// object on to the stack.
//
// luaW_register will set table as the new value of the global of the given
// name. luaW_setfuncs is identical to luaW_register, but it does not set the
// table globally.  As with luaL_register and luaL_setfuncs, both funcstions
