/**
* Subclass of {@link LuaFunction} common to Java functions exposed to lua.
*
* To provide for common implementations in JME and JSE,
* library functions are typically grouped on one or more library classes
* and an opcode per library function is defined and used to key the switch
* to the correct function within the library.
*
* Since lua functions can be called with too few or too many arguments,
* and there are overloaded {@link LuaValue#call()} functions with varying
* number of arguments, a Java function exposed in lua needs to handle the
* argument fixup when a function is called with a number of arguments
* differs from that expected.
*
* To simplify the creation of library functions,
* there are 5 direct subclasses to handle common cases based on number of
* argument values and number of return return values.
*
* - {@link ZeroArgFunction}
* - {@link OneArgFunction}
* - {@link TwoArgFunction}
* - {@link ThreeArgFunction}
* - {@link VarArgFunction}
*
*
* To be a Java library that can be loaded via {@code require}, it should have
* a public constructor that returns a {@link LuaValue} that, when executed,
* initializes the library.
*
* For example, the following code will implement a library called "hyperbolic"
* with two functions, "sinh", and "cosh":
*
{@code
* import org.luaj.vm2.LuaValue;
* public class hyperbolic extends org.luaj.vm2.lib.OneArgFunction {
* public hyperbolic() {}
* public LuaValue call(LuaValue arg) {
* switch ( opcode ) {
* case 0: {
* LuaValue t = tableOf();
* this.bind(t, hyperbolic.class, new String[] { "sinh", "cosh" }, 1 );
* env.set("hyperbolic", t);
* return t;
* }
* case 1: return valueOf(Math.sinh(arg.todouble()));
* case 2: return valueOf(Math.cosh(arg.todouble()));
* default: return error("bad opcode: "+opcode);
* }
* }
* }
* }
* The default constructor is both to instantiate the library
* in response to {@code require 'hyperbolic'} statement,
* provided it is on Javas class path,
* and to instantiate copies of the {@code hyperbolic}
* class when initializing library instances. .
* The instance returned by the default constructor will be invoked
* as part of library loading.
* In response, it creates two more instances, one for each library function,
* in the body of the {@code switch} statement {@code case 0}
* via the {@link #bind(LuaValue, Class, String[], int)} utility method.
* It also registers the table in the globals via the {@link #env}
* local variable, which should be the global environment unless
* it has been changed.
* {@code case 1} and {@code case 2} will be called when {@code hyperbolic.sinh}
* {@code hyperbolic.sinh} and {@code hyperbolic.cosh} are invoked.
*
* To test it, a script such as this can be used:
*
{@code
* local t = require('hyperbolic')
* print( 't', t )
* print( 'hyperbolic', hyperbolic )
* for k,v in pairs(t) do
* print( 'k,v', k,v )
* end
* print( 'sinh(.5)', hyperbolic.sinh(.5) )
* print( 'cosh(.5)', hyperbolic.cosh(.5) )
* }
*
* It should produce something like:
*
{@code
* t table: 3dbbd23f
* hyperbolic table: 3dbbd23f
* k,v cosh cosh
* k,v sinh sinh
* sinh(.5) 0.5210953
* cosh(.5) 1.127626
* }
*
* See the source code in any of the library functions
* such as {@link BaseLib} or {@link TableLib} for specific examples.
