Re: Lua 5.1 (alpha) now available

[David Morris-Oliveros <david@...>]

I am wondering why

int luaL_newmetatable (lua_State *L, const char *tname){...}

No longer stores in the registry a pointer to the name of the metatable? 
That is, why this code has been deleted from the last 3 lines of the 
function?

 lua_pushvalue(L, -1);
 lua_pushstring(L, tname);
 lua_rawset(L, LUA_REGISTRYINDEX);  /* registry[metatable] = name */

Is there a different way of getting the name of the table given the table?

Cheers and keep up the awesome work.
