metatables (what am i doing wrong?!)

[Asko Kauppi <asko.kauppi@...>]

* Running Hello, GTK!:
USES 'lib.gtk': already loaded.
window  nil	nil
vbox    nil	nil
hbox    nil	nil
label   nil	nil
entry   function: 0x51e620	function: 0x51e620
hseparator      nil	nil
button  nil	nil

I'm trying to make both
  	str= entry:get_text()
and
  	str= entry.text

to work with metatables (doing the same thing).

The former works, the latter not.  It returns a function instead of 
_calling_ that function (to get the actual value) as supposed to by the 
Lua ref, right?


The dump in the beginning shows class name, 'mt.__index.text' and 
'obj.text'.

Where am I getting this twisted??   Lua is 5.1w4.
