Hallo,

The Lua 5 approach is somewhat less efficient than one might like. If
efficiency is a concern, there are a variety of things one can do:

* Rather than using strings to identify types, use light userdata. This
assumes that you have some permanent address to use for this purpose. This
will avoid some string manipulation when doing type-testing.



	But in Lua a string comparison is just a pointer comparison, isn't it?
