The Lua runtime will allocate a table from the same memory pool whether the
definition is made in a script or by C API calls. What you want to do is
create userdata to allow scripts to access the message data in the C
structures. You then have control over where that memory is allocated. You
also save time by not copying data when dispatching the message.
