--[[ TODO - This should be in C, but so far development has been quite rapid doing it in Lua.

C will let us -
  Actually do the widget stuff.
  Slap meta tables on all value types.
    Which lets us put the meta table on the variable, instead of on the table, which I think is cleaner.
  Figure out the directory separator.
  Network stuff.   No need to look at Lua socket stuff, we have Ecore_Con.
  Database stuff.  No need to look at Lua SQL stuff, we have esskyuehl.  Maybe.

  Actually, we could have the best of both worlds, since it is currently a C / Lua hybrid.  B-)
]]


--[[ Skang package

In here should live all the internals of matrix-RAD that don't
specifically relate to widgets.  This would include the "window" though.

skang.module(Evas)
skang.module(Elementary)
skang.skang('some/skang/file.skang')

This package is also what "apps" that use the system should "inherit"
from, in the same way matrix-RAD apps did.  Skang "apps" could be Lua
modules.  They could also be C code, like the extantz modules are likely
to be.  Skang "apps" would automatically be associated with skang files
of the same name.

For a .skang file, the skang command (written in C) would strip off the
first line, add the two implied lines, then run it as Lua.  The
skang.load() command would do the same.  So that skang C comand would
just pass the file name to skang.load() in this library.  B-)

The old skang argument types are -

{"name",   "java.lang.String"},
{"action", "java.lang.String"},
{"type",   "java.lang.String"},
{"data",   "java.lang.String"},
{"URL",    "java.lang.String"},
{"file",   "java.lang.String"},
{"method", "java.lang.String"},

--[[ Parse command line parameters.

This is done in two parts.  Skang will do an initial scan and tokenise,
then each module gets a chance to pull it's own Things from the result.

Make the command line parameter getting MUCH more intelligent, try to support the common 
command line interfaces -

arg value
a value
/arg value
/a value
--arg value
--a value
-a value
-ab  ('a' and 'b' are both shortcuts.)
arg=value
a=value
arg1=value1&arg2=value2
arg1=value1|arg2=value2
a=value1&a=value2
+arg/-arg  (Can't support this generically.)

Ignore /,-,--,& except as arg introducers. Use = as value introducer.  Expect 
arg or a.  If type is String, expect a value.  If type is integer, and next token is 
not an integer, increment current value, otherwise expect integer value.  If type is
boolean, value beginning with T, t, F, f, etc is true, otherwise value is false, unless 
next token starts with an introducer, then value is true.

TODO - Finish supporting all of the above.
         These all need deeper parsing, but we dunno if they might have been inside quoted strings from the shell.
           arg=value			Shell.
           arg1=value1&arg2=value2	For URLs.
           arg1=value1|arg2=value2	Can't remember why, probably the old skang multivalue syntax.
       Test it all.
       Skang command line should have standardish stuff, like --version, --help, --help module.thing.
         Lua does these already, might be no need to do them ourselves -
           -e 'some code'.
           -i go interactive after running the script.
           -v version.
           - read from stdin non interactively.
         LuaJIT also has this -

--[[ Thing Java package

matrix-RAD had Thing as the base class of everything.

Each "users session" (matrix-RAD term that came from Java
applets/servlets) has a ThingSpace, which is a tree that holds
everything else.  It holds the class cache, commands, loaded modules,
variables and their values, widgets and their states.  In matrix-RAD I
built BonsiaTree and LeafLike, for the old FDO system I built dumbtrees.

Other Thing things are -
    get/set	The getter and setter.
    number	No idea how this was useful.
    skang	The owning object, a Skang (actually got this, called module for now).
    owner	The owning object, a String (module._NAME).
    clas	Class of the Thing, a Class.  (pointless)
    type	Class of the Thing, a String.  (pointless)
    realType	Real Class of the Thing, a String.  (pointless)
    myRoot	ThingSpace we are in, a ThingSpace.

    Also various functions to wrap checking the security, like canDo, canRead, etc.
]]


--[[ Stuff Java package

In matrix-RAD Stuff took care of multi value Things, like database rows.

Stuff is an abstract class that gets extended by other classes, like
SquealStuff, which was the only thing extending it.  It dealt with the
basic "collection of things" stuff.  Each individual thing was called a
stufflet.  A final fooStuff would extend SquealStuff, and include an
array of strings called "stufflets" that at least named the stufflets,
but could also include metadata and links to other Stuffs.

There was various infrastructure for reading and writing Stuff, throwing
rows of Stuff into grids, having choices of Stuff, linking stufflets to
individual widgets, having default Stuffs for windows, validating
Stuffs, etc.

In Lua, setting up stuff has been folded into the general Thing stuff.

]]


--[[  Thing structure -

In the following, meta(table) is short for getmetatable(table).

In Lua everything is supposed to be a first class value, and variables are just places to store values.
All variables are in fact stored in tables, even if it's just the local environment table.
Any variable that has a value of nil, doesn't actually exist.  That's the definition.
While non table things can have metatables, Lua can only set metatables on tables, C has no such restriction.
meta(table).__index and __newindex only work on table entries that don't exist.
  __index(table, key)           is called if table.key is nil.
    Though if __index is a table, then try __index[key].
  __newindex(table, key, value) is called if table.key is nil.
    Though if __newindex is a table, then try __newindex[key] = value.
Using both __index and __newindex, and keeping the actual values elsewhere, is called a proxy table.
meta(table).__call(table, ...) is called when trying to access table as a function - table(...).

It's worth repeating -
All variables in Lua are in some table somewhere, even if it's just the global environment table.
Metatables are only associated vith values, not variables.
Lua can only attach metatables to values that are tables, but C can attach metatables to any value.


A Thing is a managed variable stored in a parent proxy table, which is usually empty.
So the values stored in this Thing are actually stored in meta(parent)__values[thing].
  parent[thing]          ->  __index   (parent, thing)         ->  meta(parent).__values[thing]
  parent[thing] = value  ->  __newindex(parent, thing, value)  ->  meta(parent).__values[thing] = value


Each Thing has a description table that includes -
  names		- An array of names, the first one is the "official" name.
  types		- An array of types, the first one is the "official" type.
  help		- A descriptive text for humans to read.
  default	- The default value.
  widget	- A default widget definition.
  required	- If the Thing is required.
  isValid	- A function that tests if the Thing is valid.
  errors	- Any errors related to the Thing.
  isKeyed	- Is this a parent for Things that are stored under an arbitrary key.
  stuff		- An array of descriptions for sub Things, so Things that are tables can have their own Things.
  and other things that aren't actually used yet.
All things that a description doesn't have should be inherited from the Thing table.
  setmetatable(aStuff, {__index = Thing})
Descriptions should be able to be easily shared by various Things.


A parent's metatable has __self, which is it's own description.
A parent is free to use it's own name space for anything it wants.
Only the variables it specifies as managed Things are dealt with here.


Things that are tables are treated differently, in two different ways even.
Ordinary table Things are basically treated recursively, the table is a parent, and it gets it's own Things.
There is also 'Keyed' type table Things, where the keys to this table are arbitrary, but we still want to store Things in it.
In this case, when a table is assigned to this Keyed Thing, via a new key, a new table Thing is created by copying the parent Thing description.


TODO - 
    test.foo  ->  test.__index(test, 'foo')  ->  test.__values[foo];  if that's nil, and test.stuff[foo], then return an empty table instead?
    Do we still need a parent pointer?
      Should be in __values I guess.
	__values[key].value
	__values[key].parent
    Weak references might help in here somewhere.
    Maybe try looking in the skang table for Things that are not found?
    Maybe put Things in the skang table that are unique from modules?
      I think this is what matrix-RAD Collisions was all about.

Or it can be called with a table           - {names, help, pattern='.*', acl='rwx'}

The first argument can be another Thing (the parent), or a string list of names (see below).

All others include the parent as the first argument, which would be a table.

--[[ security package

Java skang could run as a stand alone applicion, as an applet in a web
page, or as a servlet on a web server.  This was pretty much all
transparent to the user.  The security system reflected that.  Lua skang
wont run in web pages, but can still have client / server behaviour. 
The general idea was, and still is, that the GUI is the client side (in
web page, in extantz GUI) that sends values back to the server side
(servlet, actual Lua package running as a separate process, or the world
server for in world scripts).  Client side can request that server side
runs commands.  Serevr side can send values and commands back to the
client.  Mostly it all happenes automatically through the ACLs.

Bouncer is the Java skang security manager, it extended the Java
SecurityManager.  Lua has no such thing, though C code running stuff in
a sandbox does a similar job.  Fascist is the Java security supervisor,
again should go into the C sandbox.

Human is used for authenticating a human, Puter for authenticating a
computer, Suits for corporate style authentication, and they all
extended Who, the base authentication module.

For now, I have no idea how this all translates into Lua, but putting
this here for a reminder to think about security during the design
stage.


This is the old Java ACL definition -
	acl - access control list.
Owner is usually the person running the Thingspace.
RWX~,---,Rwxgroup1,r--group2,r-xgroup3,rw-group4,--X~user1
rwx~ is for the owner.  The second one is the default.  The rest are per group or per user.
Capital letters mean that they get access from the network to.
--- No access at all.
RWX Full access.
R-- Read only access.
r-x Read and execute, but only locally.
rw- Read and write a field, but don't execute a method.
-w- A password.
-a- An append only log file.
-A- An append only log file on the server.
Ri- read, but only set from init (ei. skinURL not set from properties or skang files).
RI- As above, but applet.init() can set it too.
--x Thing is both method and field, only execution of the method is allowed.
--p Run as owner (Pretend).
--P Run across the network as owner (can run in applet triggered by server).
s-- Read only, but not even visible to applets.
sss Only visible to servlets and applications.
--S Send to servlet to execute if applet, otherwise execute normally.
S-- Read only, but ignore local version and get it from server.
ggg GUI Thing, only visible to Applets and applications.
GGG GUI Thing, but servlets can access them across the net.

For servlet only modules from an applet, the applet only loads the skanglet class, using it for all
access to the module.


Lua Security best practices -

  From an email by Mike Pall -

"The only reasonably safe way to run untrusted/malicious Lua scripts is
to sandbox it at the process level. Everything else has far too many
loopholes."

http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2011-02/msg01595.html
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2011-02/msg01609.html
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2011-02/msg01097.html
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2011-02/msg01106.html

So that's processes, not threads like LuaProc does.  B-(

However, security in depth is good, so still worthwhile looking at it from other levels as well.

General solution is to create a new environment, which we are doing
anyway, then whitelist the safe stuff into it, instead of blacklisting
unsafe stuff.  Coz you never know if new unsafe stuff might exist.

Different between 5.1 (setfenv) and 5.2 (_ENV)

end
------------------------------------------------------

Also includes a table of safe / unsafe stuff.


While whitelisting stuff, could also wrap unsafe stuff to make them more safe.

print()		-> should reroute to our output widgets.
rawget/set()	-> don't bypass the metatables, but gets tricky and recursive.
require		-> don't allow bypassing the sandbox to get access to restricted modules
package.loaded	-> ditto


Other things to do -

debug.sethook() can be used to call a hook every X lines, which can help with endless loops and such.
Have a custom memory allocater, like edje_lua2 does.

------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------

The plan -

  Process level -
    Have a Lua script runner C program / library.
    It does the LuaProc thing, and the edje_lua2 memory allocater thing.
    Other code feeds scripts to it via a pipe.
      Unless they are using this as a library.
    It can be chrooted, ulimited, LXC containered, etc.
    It has an internal watchdog thread.
    The truly paranoid can have a watchdog timer process watch it.
      Watches for a "new Lua state pulled off the queue" signal.
      This could be done from the App that spawned it.

    It runs a bunch of worker threads, with a queue of ready Lua states.
    Each Lua state being run has lua_sethook() set to run each X lines, AND a watchdog timer set.
      If either is hit, then the Lua state is put back on the queue.
      (Currently LuaProc states go back an the queue when waiting for a "channel message", which does a lua_yeild().)
      NOTE - apparently "compiled code" bypasses hooks, though there's an undocumented LuaJIT compile switch for that.  http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2011-02/msg01106.html
      EFL is event based.
      LSL is event based.
      LuaSL is event based.
      Java skang is event based, with anything that has long running stuff overriding runBit().
        Coz Java AWT is event based, the "events" are over ridden methods in each widget class.
      Should all work if we keep this as event based.
      An "event" is a bit of Lua script in a string, at Input trust level usually.
    Configurable for this script runner is -
      IP address & port, or pipe name.
      Security level to run at, defaults to Network.
      Number of worker threads, defaults to number of CPUs.
      Memory limit per Lua state.
      Lines & time per tick for Lua states.

  Different levels of script trust -
    System	-  the local skang and similar stuff.
		-> No security at all.
    App		-  Lua scripts and C from the running application.
		-> Current module level security.
		    Each has it's own environment, with no cross environment leakage.
		    Runs in the Apps process, though that might be the script runner as a library.
		    Or could be skang's main loop.
    Local	-  Lua scripts and skang files sent from the client apps running on the same system.
		-> As per App.
		    Runs in a script runner, maybe?  Or just the Apps script runner.
		    Limit OS and file stuff, the client app can do those itself.
    Network	-  Lua scripts and skang files sent from the network.
		-> Runs in a script runner.
		    Option to chroot it, ulimit it, etc.
		    Heavily Lua sandboxed via environment.
		    It can access nails, but via network derived credentials.
		    Can have very limited local storage, not direct file access though, but via some sort of security layer.
		    Can have network access.
		    Can have GUI access, but only to it's own window.
    Config	-  Lua scripts run as configuration files.
		-> Almost empty local environment, can really only do math and set Things.
    Input	-  Lua scripts run as a result of hitting skang widgets on the other end of a socket.
		-> As per Config, but can include function calls.
		   Also would need sanitizing, as this can come from the network.
    Microsoft	-  Not to be trusted at all.
    Apple	-  Don't expect them to trust us.

  NOTE - edje_lua2 would be roughly Local trust level.

  So we need to be able to pass Lua between processes -
    Have to be able to do it from C, from Lua, and from Lua embedded in C.
    edje_lua2	- uses Edje messages / signals.
    LuaSL	- uses Ecore_Con, in this case a TCP port, even though it's only local.
		    LuaSL mainloop for it's scripts is to basically wait for these messages from LuaProc.
		    Which yield's until we get one.
		    Eventually gets Lua code as a string -> loadstring() -> setfenv() -> pcall()
		    The pcall returns a string that we send back as a LuaProc message.
    Extantz	- we want to use stdin/stdout for the pipe, but otherwise LuaSL style semantics.

  Hmm, Extantz could run external skang modules in two ways -
    Run the module as a separate app, with stdin/stdout.
    Require the module, and run it internally.
  Stuff like the in world editor and radar would be better as module, since they are useless outside Extantz?
    Radar is useless outside Extantz, editor could be used to edit a local file.
  Stuff like woMan would be better off as a separate application, so it can start and stop extantz.

--[[
The main loop.
  A Lua skang module is basically a table, with skang managed fields.
  Once it calls moduleEnd(), it's expected to have finished.
    test.lua is currently an exception, it runs test stuff afterwards.
  So their code just registers Things and local variables.
  Some of those Things might be functions for manipulating internal module state.
    A C module has it's variables managed outside of it by Lua.
    So would have to go via LUA_GLOBALSINDEX to get to them.
    Unless they are userdata, which are C things anyway.
    Though it's functions are obviously inside the C module.
  Normal Lua module semantics expect them to return to the require call after setting themselves up.
    So test.lua is really an aberation.

  Soooo, where does the main loop go?
  The skang module itself could define the main loop.
  Should not actually call it though, coz skang is itself a module.

  In Java we had different entry points depending on how it was called.
  If it was called as an applet or application, it got it's own thread with a mainloop.
    That main loop just slept and called runBit() on all registered modules.
  If it was loaded as a module, it bypassed that stuff.
  I don't think Lua provides any such mechanism.
  In theory, the first call to moduleBegin would be the one that was started as an application.
  So we could capture that, and test against it in moduleEnd to find when THAT module finally got to the end.
  THEN we can start the main loop (test.lua being the exception that fucks this up).
    Though test.lua could include a runBits() that quits the main loop, then starts the main loop at the very end once more?
  The problem with this is applications that require skang type modules.
    The first one they require() isn't going to return.
  Eventually skang itself will get loaded.  It looks at the "arg" global, which SHOULD be the command line.
  Including the name of the application, which we could use to double check.
    Extantz / script runner would set this arg global itself.

  Skang applications have one main loop per app.
  Skang modules use the main loop of what ever app called them.
  Non skang apps have the option of calling skangs main loop.
  Extantz starts many external skang apps, which each get their own main loop.
  Extantz has it's own Ecore main loop.
  LuaSL still has one main loop per script.
  LSL scripts get their own main loop, but LSL is stupid and doesn't have any real "module" type stuff.

What does skang main loop actually do?
  In Java it just slept for a bit, then called runBit() from each module, and the only module that had one was watch.
  Actually better off using Ecore timers for that sort of thing.
  Skang main loop has nothing to do?  lol
  Well, except for the "wait for LuaProc channel messages" thing.
  Widget main loop would be Ecore's main loop.

  Extantz loads a skang module.
    Module runs in extantz script runner.
    Module runs luaproc message main loop from skang.
    Evas / Elm widgets send signals, call C callbacks.
    Extantz sends Lua input scripts via luaproc messages to module.
  Extantz runs separate skang module.
    Module runs in it's own process.
    Module runs it's own message loop on the end of stdin.
    Evas / Elm widgets send signals, call C callbacks.
    Extantz sends Lua Input scripts to module via stdout.
  Module runs stand alone.
    Module runs in it's own process.
    Module has to have widget start Ecore's main loop.
    Module runs it's own message loop, waiting for widget to send it messages.
    Evas / Elm widgets send signals, call C callbacks.
    Widget sends Lua Input scripts to module.

Alternate plan -
  Skang has no main loop, modules are just tables.
    OK, so sometimes skang has to start up an Ecore main loop.
      With either Ecore_Con, or Evas and Elm.
  skang.message(string)
    Call it to pass a bit of Lua to skang, which is likely Input.
  Widget twiddles happen in Ecore's main loop, via signals and call backs.

  Extantz runs a LuaSL / LSL script from the network.
    Send this one to the LuaSL script runner.
    Coz LSL scripts tend to have lots of copies with the same name in different objects.
    Could get too huge to deal with via "just another table".
    In this case, compiling the LSL might be needed to.

--[[ TODO
  NOTE that skang.thingasm{} doesn't care what other names you pass in, they all get assigned to the Thing.


  Widget -
    Should include functions for actually dealing with widgets, plus a way
    of creating widgets via introspection.  Should also allow access to
    widget internals via table access.  Lua code could look like this -

    foo = widget('label', 0, "0.1", 0.5, 0, 'Text goes here :")
    -- Method style.
    foo:colour(255, 255, 255, 0, 0, 100, 255, 0)
    foo:hide()
    foo:action("skang.load(some/skang/file.skang)")
    -- Table style.
    foo.action = "skang.load('some/skang/file.skang')"
    foo.colour.r = 123
    foo.look('some/edje/file/somewhere.edj')
    foo.help = 'This is a widget for labelling some foo.'

    Widgets get a type as well, which would be label, button, edit, grid, etc.
    A grid could even have sub types - grid,number,string,button,date.
    A required widget might mean that the window HAS to have one.
    Default for a widget could be the default creation arguments - '"Press me", 1, 1, 10, 50'.

    skang.thingasm{'myButton', types='Button', rectangle={1, 1, 10, 50}, title='Press me', ...}

	skang.thingasm('foo,s,fooAlias', 'Foo is a bar, not the drinking type.', function () print('foo') end, '', '"button", "The foo :"' 1, 1, 10, 50')
	myButton = skang.widget('foo')	-- Gets the default widget creation arguments.
	myButton:colour(1, 2, 3, 4)
	-- Use generic positional / named arguments for widget to, then we can do -
	myEditor = skang.widget{'foo', "edit", "Edit foo :", 5, 15, 10, 100, look='edit.edj', colour={blue=20}, action='...'}
	-- Using the Thing alias stuff, maybe we can do the "first stage tokenise" step after all -
	myEditor = skang.widget{'foo', "edit", "Edit foo :", 5, 15, 10, 100, l='edit.edj', c={b=20}, a='...'}
	myEditor:colour(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)
	myButton = 'Not default'	-- myEditor and foo change to.  Though now foo is a command, not a parameter, so maybe don't change that.
	-- Though the 'quit' Thing could have a function that does quitting, this is just an example of NOT linking to a Thing.
	-- If we had linked to this theoretical 'quit' Thing, then pushing that Quit button would invoke it's Thing function.
	quitter = skang.widget(nil, 'button', 'Quit', 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5)
	quitter:action('quit')

    For widgets with "rows", which was handled by Stuff in skang, we could
    maybe use the Lua concat operator via metatable.  I think that works by
    having the widget (a table) on one side of the concat or the other, and
    the metatable function gets passed left and right sides, then must
    return the result.  Needs some experimentation, but it might look like
    this -

    this.bar = this.bar .. 'new choice'
    this.bar = 'new first choice' .. this.bar


    coordinates and sizes -

    Originally skang differentiated between pixels and character cells,
    using plain integers to represent pixels, and _123 to represent
    character cells.  The skang TODO wanted to expand that to percentages
    and relative numbers.  We can't use _123 in Lua, so some other method
    needs to be used.  Should include those TODO items in this new design.

    Specifying character cells should be done as strings - "123"

    Percentages can be done as small floating point numbers between 0 and 1,
    which is similar to Edje.  Since Lua only has a floating point number
    type, both 0 and 1 should still represent pixels / character cells -

    0.1, 0.5, "0.2", "0.9"

    Relative numbers could be done as strings, with the widget to be
    relative to, a + or -, then the number.  This still leaves the problem
    of telling if the number is pixels or character cells.  Also, relative
    to what part of the other widget?  Some more thought needs to be put
    into this.

    Another idea for relative numbers could be to have a coord object with
    various methods, so we could have something like -

    button:bottom(-10):right(5)	-- 10 pixels below the bottom of button, 5 pixels to the right of the right edge of button.
    button:width("12")		-- 12 characters longer than the width of button.

    But then how do we store that so that things move when the thing they are
    relative to moves?


   Squeal -
     Squeal was the database driver interface for SquealStuff, the database
     version of Stuff.  Maybe we could wrap esskyuehl?  Not really in need of
     database stuff for now, but should keep it in mind.
     For SquealStuff, the metadata would be read from the SQL database automatically.

     squeal.database('db', 'host', 'someDb', 'user', 'password')  ->  Should return a Squeal Thing.
       local db = require 'someDbThing'	  ->  Same as above, only the database details are encodode in the someDbThing source, OR come from someDbThing.properties.
     db:getTable('stuff', 'someTable')	  ->  Grabs the metadata, but not the rows.
     db:read('stuff', 'select * from someTable'}  ->  Fills stuff up with several rows, including setting up the metadata for the columns.
       stuff[1].field1                    ->  Is a Thing, with a proper metatable, that was created automatically from the database meta data.
     stuff:read('someIndex')		  ->  Grabs a single row that has the key 'someIndex', or perhaps multiple rows since this might have SQL under it.
       stuff = db:read('stuff', 'select * from someTable where key='someIndex')

     stuff:write()			  ->  Write all rows to the database table.
     stuff:write(1)			  ->  Write one row  to the database table.
     stuff:stuff('field1').isValid = someFunction	-- Should work, all stuff[key] share the same Thing description.
     stuff:isValid(db)			  ->  Validate the entire Thing against it's metadata at least.
     window.stuff = stuff		  ->  Window gets stuff as it's default 'Keyed' table, any widgets with same names as the table fields get linked.
     grid.stuff   = stuff		  ->  Replace contents of this grid widget with data from all the rows in stuff.
     choice.stuff = stuff		  ->  As in grid, but only using the keys.
     widget.stuff = stuff:stuff('field1')	  ->  This widget gets a particular stufflet.
       widget would have to look up getmetatable(window.stuff).parent.  Or maybe this should work some other way?

     In all these cases above, stuff is a 'Keyed' table that has a Thing metatable, so it has sub Things.
       Should include some way of specifyings details like key name, where string, etc.
         getmetatable(stuff).__keyName
         getmetatable(stuff).__squeal.where
       And a way to link this database table to others, via the key of the other, as a field in this Stuff.
         stuff:stuff('field0').__link = {parent, key, index}
       In Java we had this -

public class PersonStuff extends SquealStuff
{

...

	public final static String FULLNAME = "fullname";

	public static final String keyField = "ID";       // Name of key field/s.
	public static final String where    = keyField + "='%k'";
	public static final String listName = "last";
	public static final String tables   = "PEOPLE";
	public static final String select   = null;
	public static final String stufflets[] =
	{
		keyField,
		"PASSWD_ID|net.matrix_rad.squeal.PasswdStuff|,OTHER",
		"QUALIFICATION_IDS|net.matrix_rad.people.QualificationStuff|,OTHER",
		"INTERESTING_IDS|net.matrix_rad.people.InterestingStuff|,OTHER",
		"title",
		"first",
		"middle",
		"last",
		"suffix",

...

		FULLNAME + "||,VARCHAR,512"
	};
}

-- Gotta check out this _ENV thing, 5.2 only.  Seems to replace the need for setfenv().  Seems like setfenv should do what we want, and is more backward compatible.
--   "_ENV is not supported directly in 5.1, so its use can prevent a module from remaining compatible with 5.1.
--   Maybe you can simulate _ENV with setfenv and trapping gets/sets to it via __index/__newindex metamethods, or just avoid _ENV."
--   LuaJIT doesn't support _ENV anyway.
