Class implementation in Lua is a perfect example of a subject over which
religious wars are fought. Is the class table the metatable or the __index
metamethod of the object? Sheep to my right, goats to my left, please.

Lua makes it so easy to change things for oneself that a diverse,
pigheaded bunch like us won't easily agree to someone else's
idiosyncratic way of programming.
