The syntax above looks almost exactly backwards.  You might consider
tweaking your function signatures to make it

  gl.md2_display(model:get_data())

instead, if I'm inferring correctly that 'gl' is essentially a module
and 'model' is an object-like entity that has methods attached to it
(i.e., you could write « model2:get_data() » as well, but there is no
other way of calling md2_display).  This would be more consistent with
other usages of Lua as well as the intended semantics of dot versus
colon.
