this is mine:

----- someclass.lua -----

local setmetatable = setmetatable

module (...)
_M.__index=_M

function new()
	return setmetatable ({}, _M)
end

function _M:meth1 (arg1,arg2)
	-- use 'self' and args
end

------------------------------

it does encapsulation, polymorphism and private methods, but not
private vars nor inheritance.  both are easy to add; but  i usually
not bother since about only 1 in 10 of my classes use neither, so i
add only where they actually help.

now i'm tempted to add to the snippets site...
