RE: (Feature Request) Custom Attributes.

[Timur Davidenko <timur@...>]

This solution will require manual sync of names in multiple tables, can
get quite complex with several levels of hierarchy in sub tables.
Plus it add`s a runtime overhead for accessing this table, which is
better to avoid in such cases.

Or, if your data structure will have multiple instances, use a
separate table for attributes:

TableAttrs = {
	Radius = { UIWidget = "slider", UIMin = 0, UIMax = 100 },
	...
}

Table = {
	-- Could reference the attributes table like this, or put the
	-- attributes in the metatable, etc.
	attr = TableAttrs,
	Radius = 10,
	...
}
