Re: [Bug report] unpack()ing multiple tables does not behave asexpected

It may seem strange at first, but the benefits are large. There's the 
performance aspect, but more importantly you can use function calls inside a 
parameter list to another function and not worry that'll it return a bunch 
of values clobering yours. The last argument is allowed to overflow - 
there's a reason you don't see a bunch of { if (lua_gettop(L) > 3) 
luaL_error(L, "too many arguments!") } in the lua libraries. :)
