Nice!  But how about if I want ToLua to create access to a variable that is
within a namespace.  For example, if my C++ code has the following:

namespace big
{
	int stuff;
	...
}


it would be accessed (if not within the namespace "big") with the line

	...
	big::stuff = 10;
	...


Can I put something like this in a .pkg file?  (Without the assignment, that
is).

Excellent!  Thanks...
