I'm sorry. I meant to say _I_ use some trickery with the global states,
but it is done in a very, very careful fashion, and certainly shouldn't
be done at all (although it was fun!). Basically, I modified the Lua
code (just for fun) to allow registration of more than one global state
in a global state. I did it to test isolation of static Lua data from
the main garbage collector. It appears to work, but it is very
dangerous. There definitely has got to be a better way.
