I think we're on the same page. Since Lua isn't a strongly typed language, it's
useful to know what you're sending to an OOLua proxy. It seems like a good
design decision of yours not to use RTTI in Oolua, but I need a basic way to,
from Lua, to do the following:
local inst
-- some code, we don't know what inst is, but it's possibly from MyClass.new()
if MyClass.isInstance(inst) then
-- do something
end
Do you have any ideas on how I could achieve this using OOLua, or is this
something I could only do by changing the library to store some intrusive data
as part of the instance (for example, via a mix-in)?
