Okay, I see the problem now.  So... how does one go about handling the 
__newindex metamethod on a userdata?  Basically I'd like the event to 
be processed normally, that is, the intended assignment should still 
take place.  I just have to inspect the key and the value and increment 
some counters.

I'd be glad to modify the interface myself, but I'm afraid I'd need at 
least some general directions -- I have 14 years experience in C++ but 
only 2 months in Lua...

Thank you,
