While you're cleaning it up:

* local xyz = ffi.C.xyz is against recommendations:
  http://luajit.org/ext_ffi_tutorial.html#cache

* CGPoint = ffi.metatype("CGPoint", {}) ... etc.
  Global-polluting and pointless. Probably wants to use ffi.typeof().

* typeEncodingToCType() could use a hash-table and/or string.gsub.

* readMethod() is very inefficient. And all those log() calls
  always evaluate their arguments ...

* Those __index methods do unspeakable horrific things ...

Oh well ...
