Re: tolua_pushusertype Documentation

[Waldemar Celes <celes@...>]

The object is pushed as (heavy) Lua userdata. This means that Lua
keeps a reference to the C object. If you want, you can ask tolua
(through the 'takeownership' function) to delete the C object whenever
Lua collects the corresponding userdata.
