The table *is* the script interface to the object. The table does 
contain a reference to the userdata, in fact it has the *only* 
reference to the userdata, so I must rely on the Lua table to 
determine the lifespan of the object.

I could use the userdata as the object interface in Lua, but then 
every access would have to go look up the associated table, which 
seems worse than reimplementing lua_ref(0) myself.

Thanks for the help,
