What turned out advantageous for me was to distinguish between new()
and newClass(), and to use the super class as a second argument to the
module function. This made it a fool-proof workhorse even for large and
complex class libraries, at least for my needs.

You can check out my approach at http://tekui.teklib.org/ . The base
class is tek/class.lua - see also
http://hg.teklib.org/tekui/file/a5823c144f8f/tek/class.lua#l .
Documentation is here: http://tekui.teklib.org/manual.html#tek.class
