Aha! I think the basic idea is... Lua comes as a bare skeleton and if you
want more you are free to do as you please. getn() comes so you can retrieve
n from arg lists and various places that come with the vanilla build. If
you'd like a neopolitan build then you could scour the sample code in the
wiki? You could look at the Python list and dictionary emulation for some
code? A more common solution may emerge from the Lua standard libraries.

Reuben, nice ideas, perhaps we should have a Lua Gems page?!
