Sounds like metadata could be easily implemented as a table associated 
with an element of the table:

SomeTable =
{
   a = 1, Metadata_a = { UIType="int", UIMinRange=0, UIMaxRange=100 },
   etc etc
}

With the usual metatable trickery you can inherit and share metadatas 
across instances. Or am I missing something?
