Well, you read my mind!!! I was thinking about the same thing. 

Plus, for the return value, I thought on returning a userdata that implements 
a 'contanins()' function. So for the user, it looks simple enough:

s:SetCapabilities('ONE,TWO,THREE')

caps = s:GetCapabilities()

if caps:contains('ONE,TWO') then
  -- stuff
end

I'll post it here when I have it cooked :)

Thanks,
Ezequiel.
