The really nice thing about the system is that you work very naturally 
in both C++ and Lua. It certainly has an issue with multiple 
inheritance. You can only register functions from the first superclass. 
But this can be overcome by using an adaptor to functions in subsequent 
superclasses in the first one.

YMMV, but we have built lots of Objects with this system and it works 
really well. But please use as much or as little as is useful to you...
