Unfortunately for many people, the "wrong" way to think about Lua is
the way that nearly all mainstream languages work.  I'm curious if
anyone has created a basic 'array' or 'vector' C module for Lua
similar to how Python's numeric libraries work (array elements are a
single contiguous type, rather than polymorphic objects).
