in this case, the library designer had to either:

a) implement reference counting.
or
b) leave the counting to you.

if a), then it's not Lua problem, just don't destroy the line object,
they will be destroyed when no plot uses it

if b), then it's not Lua fault that you have to keep track of the C++
objects.  of course, the easiest is to add a refcount to the userdata
