How would I save a Lua table or a function for later use?
Newcomers are puzzled that there is no lua_totable or lua_tofunction corresponding to lua_tostring, etc. This is because Lua does not expose a general ‘Lua object’ type; all values are passed using the stack. The registry provides a mechanism for saving references to tables or Lua functions, however.
