My lua2c, which is for Lua 4, still works on this piece of code and generates
correct C code for Lua 5.1:

/* This C code was generated by lua2c from the Lua code below.

return { {name="Scooby",age=45,
type="Dog",someusertype="userdata"},{name="Shaggy",age=24,
type="Human",someusertype="userdata"}}

*/
static int MAIN(lua_State *L)
{
 lua_newtable(L);
 lua_newtable(L);
 lua_pushliteral(L,"name");
 lua_pushliteral(L,"Scooby");
 lua_pushliteral(L,"age");
 lua_pushnumber(L,45);
 lua_pushliteral(L,"type");
 lua_pushliteral(L,"Dog");
 lua_pushliteral(L,"someusertype");
 lua_pushliteral(L,"userdata");
 lua_settable(L,-9);
 lua_settable(L,-7);
 lua_settable(L,-5);
 lua_settable(L,-3);
 lua_newtable(L);
 lua_pushliteral(L,"name");
 lua_pushliteral(L,"Shaggy");
 lua_pushliteral(L,"age");
 lua_pushnumber(L,24);
 lua_pushliteral(L,"type");
 lua_pushliteral(L,"Human");
 lua_pushliteral(L,"someusertype");
 lua_pushliteral(L,"userdata");
 lua_settable(L,-9);
 lua_settable(L,-7);
 lua_settable(L,-5);
 lua_settable(L,-3);
 lua_rawseti(L,-3,2);
 lua_rawseti(L,-2,1);
 return 1;
 return 0;
}
