//
// LUASTACK
//
// The standard lua C API asks you to work with a stack machine. You're supposed
// to manually push and pop values on the lua stack. I find this difficult, I
// find it hard to remember what stack position contains what value.
//
// To make it easier, I've created this module, "LuaStack."  This module
// creates the illusion that you're working with local variables that contain
// lua values.
//
// Of course, this is all using the lua stack under the covers.  Lua
// local variables are actually just lua stack addresses.  But that's
// all kept fairly well hidden.  When you use Lua local variables, and
// the accessors inside class LuaStack, it appears that you're
// manipulating data using local variables instead of using a stack.
// For people like me, that's easier to think about.
//
// Here's an example.
//
// let's say you have a function that takes two arguments
// ARG1 and ARG2, has a single return value RET1, and needs two local
// variables LOC1 and LOC2.  We would declare it like this:
//
// int myfunc(lua_State *L) {
//
//     LuaArg arg1, arg2;         // Declare local variables to hold the arguments.
//     LuaRet ret1;               // Declare local variables to hold the return values.
//     LuaVar loc1, loc2, loc3;   // Declare local variables for other purposes.
//
//     // Assign every local var a stack index.
//     LuaStack LS(L, arg1, arg2, ret1, loc1, loc2, loc3);
//
//     // manipulate the data in the lua local variables...
//     LS.rawget(loc1, arg1, arg2);
//     ... etc ...
// }
//
// Class LuaArg, LuaRet, and LuaVar are all lua local variables.
// The luastack constructor assigns each one of them a position on
// the lua stack.  It also makes sure that the arguments are in
// the LuaArg variables, and it makes sure that the LuaRet values
// are the only thing left on the stack at return time.
//
// Class LuaStack provides a complete catalog of accessors
// like 'rawget' - roughly speaking, it provides equivalents to
// every major accessor in the lua API.  However, the accessors
// provided by LuaStack take input and output from lua locals, not
// from the stack.  For example, consider this:
//
//    LS.rawget(value, tab, key);
//
// In the above, value, tab, and key should be lua local variables.
// This does a rawget on 'table', with the specified 'key', and
// stores the result in 'value'.  Nothing is added to or removed
// from the lua stack.  In general, none of the accessors in class
// LuaStack add anything to the stack, or pop anything from the
// stack.
//
// Class LuaStack can also do automatic type conversions.  For
// example, suppose you do this:
//
//    LS.rawget(value, tab, key);
//
// Nominally, you would expect value, tab, and key to be lua local
// variables. But if you pass a std::string for key, then LuaStack will
// automatically convert it.  In general, class LuaStack can
// convert lua_Integer, lua_Number, std::string, bool, and LuaNil.
//
// On output, LuaStack can convert lua_Integers, lua_Numbers, and
// std::strings.  In this case, strict type checking is done.  If
// there is a type mismatch, a lua error is thrown.
//
// You can use the operator 'set' to assign a value to a lua local
// variable:
//
//   LS.set(val1, val2);
//
// This is actually a copy operation that copies from one lua local
// variable to another.  But using type conversions, it can also be
// used to assign arbitrary values to lua local variables, or to
// get values from lua local variables.
// 
// Passing LuaNewTable as an input will cause a new table to be
// created before calling the specified operation.
//
//
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
//
// LuaStack type checking
//
// LuaStack contains accessors for type checking.  These include:
//
//     bool LuaStack::isnumber(LuaSlot s)
//     bool LuaStack::isinteger(LuaSlot s)
//     bool LuaStack::isstring(LuaSlot s)
//     etc...
//
// And it also contains operations that throw errors:
//
//     void LuaStack::checknumber(LuaSlot s)
//     void LuaStack::checkinteger(LuaSlot s)
//     void LuaStack::checkstring(LuaSlot s)
//     etc...
//
// These are different from the lua builtins in that they are strict.
// For example, 'isnumber' only returns true if the value in the
// lua local variable is already a number.  No conversions are done.
//
// These functions do checking and also conversion at the same time:
//
//     lua_Integer  LuaStack::ckinteger(LuaSlot s)
//     lua_Number   LuaStack::cknumber(LuaSlot s)
//     std::string  LuaStack::ckstring(LuaSlot s)
//     lua_State   *LuaStack::ckthread(LuaSlot s)
//
// Like the other operations, they are strict.
//
//
// LUADEFINE
//
// LuaDefine is a macro that defines a C function which is
// exposed to lua.  It creates a global registry of functions
// created with LuaDefine. You use it like so:
//
//    LuaDefine(function_name, "modebits") {
//        ...
//    }
//
// This macroexpands into a function definition and a function
// registration.  The function definition looks like this:
//
//    int function_name(lua_State *L) {
//        ...
//    }
//
// The macro expansion generates this function definition, but it
// also generates a "registration object" whose constructor puts
// this function into a global registry of lua-callable C functions.
// This global registry is later used to inject these C functions
// into the lua intepreter.  The mode is a string that contain
// the following characters:
//
//    c - create a class, and put a function into it.
//    f - create a global function not inside a class.
