Yet, the idea is still applicable, but with strcmp. It will speed things 
up for one universe due to matching pointers and work as usual 
comparison in others.

static int some_c_function (lua_State *L)
{
    if (lua_gettop (L) != 1) return 0;
    const char *arg = lua_tostring (L, 1);
    if (strcmp(arg, strconst_rgba)) {
        lua_pushnumber (L, 1);
        return 1;
    } else if (strcmp(arg, strconst_rgb)) {
        lua_pushnumber (L, 1);
        return 1;
    } else ....
    return 0;
}
