Is this actually healthy? I must admit
that that in quite a few places I've been lazy and haven't popped off the
parameters at the end of a function, and I've often wondered if it is the cause
of an occasional random crash.
So is it true that lua will automatically pop off all
variables passed to a function when that function returns and clean up the
stack?

Thanks, I finally
decided to just leave everything on the stack and assume it will get cleaned up
when the function returns.
Actually, I created a few proxy functions so
all I need to do is change those to whatever behaviour I want, just in case I
figure out another way or want to change it.
