Maybe that would be clearer with "Tables and full userdata have
individual metatables".
Thanks.

Honestly I hadn't read the reference manual that closely. What I read
was in the 2nd ed PiL book... Looking at it here it simply says "They
have no metatables" - which I obviously missed.
An extra sentence or two describing the metatable functionality of a
lightuserdata vs a userdata might help make this a lot more clear? The
explanation of motivations/uses for lightuserdata is great already. So
just the metatable part is slightly unclear.
In my specific case a "lightuserdata" would've worked. I'm just wrapping
C pointers which use their own 'free' functions called by __gc. However
I really wanted the full userdata for the individual metatables.
