31 * Models an arbitrary Java reference as a Lua value.
32 * This class provides a facility that is equivalent to the userdata
33 * facility provided by the PUC-Rio implementation. It has two primary
34 * uses: the first is when you wish to store an arbitrary Java reference
35 * in a Lua table; the second is when you wish to create a new Lua type
36 * by defining an opaque object with metamethods. The former is
37 * possible because a <code>LuaUserdata</code> can be stored in tables,
38 * and passed to functions, just like any other Lua value. The latter
39 * is possible because each <code>LuaUserdata</code> supports a
40 * metatable.
