There isn't any builtin help in Lua, but this link:

http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/#index

tostring(). Most Lua objects do *not* autoconvert to strings. However,
most pure-Lua complex objects will just render as 'table: 0xdecafbad'
unless they have specific support for rendering themselves more
usefully. C-based complex objects usually produce some description of
themselves, though.
