Does it support arbitrary types as table indexes?
Python dictionaries can have anything as a key, so I guess yes. But I wouldn't reuse a Pythonic dictionary implementation for Lua, as we would lose the array optimization. That's what I did for my Lua CLR compiler, anyway.
Where is there a technical description of the DLR?
Jim Hugunin published a high-level view of somethings in his blog (and there are some slides here:
http://compilerlab.members.winisp.net). There's also some documentation in the form of a chm file, but mostly it's "use the source, Luke".
