does this mean that now we can use small constant strings from C as
freely as from Lua?

repeatedly interning strings like "ready", "cancel", or so can be a
significant overhead; but from Lua all these are already interned.  in
some cases, i've resorted to put those string in the registry, so i
can use lua_rawgeti() to get the string instead of simply pushing it.
