As Mike said you need a type name (string) a ctype or an object of the
type. So a Lua table can store either of these. An ffi object can only
store the third. But it has to be allocated. You could create a C struct
with a single field of the right type (not an array) and pass this to
create the array if you want to avoid Lua tables.
