I thought that string interning was an implementation detail not really 
to be relied upon.  Are you going to guarantee that if I pushstring the 
same character sequence I get identical pointers when I tostring them?

lua_pushstring(l, "hello");
lua_pushstring(l, "hello");
p = lua_tostring(l, -1);
q = lua_tostring(l, -2);
c = (p == q);

So you guarantee that c=1 ?
