I just found out that Lua interns all strings, which makes them
even more like symbols. So Scheme->Lua should accept either symbols
or strings, but Lua->Scheme should return symbols.
I have changed the egg to use (void) as representing Lua nil. That Lua
strings are interned is an implementation detail, though. I find mapping
them to Scheme strings more natural.
