Thanks but I don't need the full blown class system
for this particular case. I would just hard code the
"object metatable" for now as I know it.

Just wondering why "getmetatable(my_object_as_table)"
don't return the metatable, is it only for C created
userdata and why not for lua created object ?

As otherwise, that seem to be the most natural way for
"a.super = getmetatable(a)"
