naming convention

Which do you prefer?

getmetatable  -- Lua
getMetatable  -- Java
get_metatable  -- Python

I am more used to the java style, but the Lua style also works for me. Since Luan is about Lua, not java, maybe we should follow Lua in this case.

I prefer the Python style which is also NAML style.  Another example (from NAML):

viewstandardpage
viewStandardPage
view_standard_page

If this convention applies only to code that we create to build the sites, than the naml convention works for me. Lua methods and functions should follow the Lua standard.

Since our users will use Lua methods, these users will then be forced to deal with inconsistent conventions.  Note that I cannot implement all standard Lua methods anyway, for example I can't implement the next() method.  And for users who want standard method names, it is trivial to add like this:

getmetatable  = get_metatable
setmetatable  = set_metatable

Okay, I think this could work, so you can go ahead. I will only be 100% sure when I start working heavily with this code.
