Re: Lua 5.1+ and variable-argument tables

Short point on efficiency.

Within larger Lua wrappers (s.a. those for GUI libraries) I've noticed 
that it is often meaningful to use varargs for passing "the rest of the 
stuff" to C level functions.  I won't go into details, just pointing 
out thatt '...' can, in fact, be a commonly used operator, and having 
it efficient is Good For Lua in general.
