PS: As to the question of whether there's a better way to do it, I  
reckon the only question-mark is that if you're storing Lua refs to  
all the objects in a container anyway, why bother with replicating  
that on the C++ side at all?

I use a different approach myself, because I want to expose objects to  
Lua but to manage their lifetimes on the C++ side...turns out this is  
fairly involved, but works well.
