I rarely actually use ffi.metatype; I find you need to wrap objects in
a table/another structure to do useful things with them: eg, its nice
to use openal sources in an OO fashion; but they are just an integer
id (which you can't attach a metatable to).
Otherwise, I would find it strange if one application was using
multiple ffi bindings to the one library..... why not consolidate
