Type declarations, including declarations for a (specific)
user-defined type. This would have to be ptional, of course, but with
a switch to make them required. This is pretty much the only
significant thing that a language like C++ has that Lua doesn't have
(other than a modest difference in performance), and the lack of it
makes large-scale programming in Lua much more difficult and
uncertain.
