lua_setglobal_number() and similar convenience macros

[Tomas Mudrunka <mudrunka@...>]

Hello,
in all of projects where i am using C API of Lua, i am using following 
macros for convenience:

#define lua_setglobal_integer(L,n,v)   (lua_pushinteger(L, v),    
lua_setglobal(L, n))
#define lua_setglobal_nil(L,n)         (lua_pushnil(L),	          
lua_setglobal(L, n))
#define lua_setglobal_boolean(L,n,v)   (lua_pushboolean(L, v),    
lua_setglobal(L, n))
#define lua_setglobal_number(L,n,v)    (lua_pushnumber(L, v),     
lua_setglobal(L, n))
#define lua_setglobal_string(L,n,v)    (lua_pushstring(L, v),     
lua_setglobal(L, n))
#define lua_setglobal_lstring(L,n,v,l) (lua_pushlstring(L, v, l), 
lua_setglobal(L, n))

I think it would really be worth adding similar stuff to lua.h.
Perhaps creating lua_extra.h if there are reasons for not adding such 
thing to main header file.

What do you think?
