RE: Lua 5.1.1 has been frozen

   Hmm... no not really, the point is to communicate constraints to some
other system such as a UI component which can then alter the GUI
accordingly. I also think such an addition could be very useful.

This is better done using a table constructor that can then check for
validity.
Your example would be something like this:

  SomeTable = MyTypedTable{
	  a = 1,
	  b = 2,
	  objname = "test.obj",
  }

  function MyTypedTable(t) <do validation here> end
