I would expect values in the _Lua stack_ to be checked. But apparently
even lua_rawgeti doesn't do it. Stupid, IMHO. Recompiling the library 
with the checks enabled is not possible because I don't want users to 
have to go through that process. Wasn't it better that the checks 
were enabled by default and there was an option to disable them?
