What turned out advantageous for me was to distinguish between new()
and newClass(), and to use the super class as a second argument to the
module function. This made it a fool-proof workhorse even for large and
complex class libraries, at least for my needs.

You can check out my approach at http://tekui.teklib.org/ . The base
class is tek/class.lua - see also

Documentation is here: http://tekui.teklib.org/manual.html#tek.class
