Possible to add methods in Lua to metatables defined in C?

[Andrew Budd <andrew.budd@...>]

Bear with me if I'm misunderstanding something.

I have written a lua library in C, and am using metatables for methods.  What I would like to do is add additional methods to those metatables from Lua.  The issue seems to be that I can't access the handle for the metatable, and even if I could, it's not clear that I would be able to add a function to the table.  Am I barking up the wrong tree here?  or am I missing something obvious?

Best regards,
