/* NEW LANGUAGE NOTE:
   the 'checkfn' param is something that I added for typemap(in)
   it is an optional fn call to check the type of the lua object
   the fn call must be of the form
     int checkfn(lua_State *L, int index);
   and return 1/0 depending upon if this is the correct type
   For the typemap(out), an additional SWIG_arg parameter must be incremented
   to reflect the number of values returned (normally SWIG_arg++; will do)
