lua_Integer and lua_Number are parameterised because they represent
user's values. The other 'ints' in the API are strongly related to the
internal implementation of Lua. To parameterise them would mean to
parameterise the entire source code. I think this would be a nightmare.


What about typedefing light useradata?
