Offtopic for the list, but anyway.

No offence taken, I have said on many occasions that OOLua may not
suit everyone.

Besides when templates do not help which I have commented on before in
lua-l [1].

Partly correct see [2][3] as this is not always required and depends
on the compiler being used.
[1] With respect to needing to supply parameters, so if I am correct
then what you find awkward is not the way parameters use traits yet
the fact that parameters are actually needed?
When creating the library I tried to provide a clean and consistent
way of proxying a function, you may have ran into one of the problems
which I needed to avoid in that C++ allows multiple functions which
the same unmangled name that have different signatures. When this
happens in LuaBind you give it a helping hand by casting the function
to the correct signature when registering the class. OOLua can not do
this and as a result the design forces the user to use a consistent
method whilst also allowing you to specify special traits for the
parameters.
