i really want to agree; and of course it warrants a benchmark or two.
but still, using string constants in Lua is (almost?) as light as
using integers, and i'd like to have this from C; ideally using enums
that get translated to already-interned lua strings.
unfortunately, i don't believe there's a neat solution.
