Re: Lua versioning

Interesting to see you say this.  LuaX was born at the time of Lua 4->5 
conversion, and it still is internally more inclined towards 
tag-oriented thinking than metatables. That is, if you do C modules for 
it, they use tags, regardless of Lua version.  I, too, find tags 
conceptually easier, at least on the C side.

There's no downside in the above, my point is.. what's my point? ;)
