  Um ... what?

  This example:

      result.id     = 'SUBMIT_SM'
      result.source = {}
      result.dest   = {}
      
      result.service_type,
      result.source.addr_ton,
      result.source.addr_npi,
      result.source.addr,
      result.dest.addr_ton,
      result.dest.addr_npi,
      result.dest.addr,
      result.esm_class,
      result.protocol_id,
      result.prority,
      result.schedule_time,
      result.validity_period,
      result.registered_delivery,
      result.replace_if_present,
      result.data_coding,
      result.sm_default_msg_id,
      result.message,
      pos = string.unpack(">zI1I1zI1I1zI1I1I1zzI1I1I1I1s1",blob,13)

Is pulled from a project at work to unpack an SMS message.  What you appear
to be talking about is serializing a Lua table, which is completely
different from what I use string.pack()/string.unpack() for.
