It should be preferred instead of Data:getPointer because the latter uses lightuserdata which can't store more all possible memory addresses on some new arm64 architectures, when LuaJIT is used.
Since the type is passed to va_start, and apparently that's undefined behaviour if it's a reference.
<Textmode> the best kind of behavior

Any attempt to call a method on the object after it has been released will result in an error. Object:release() returns true if it was successful, or false if not (if it has already been released previously).

- Type names for love's Lua objects are specified as an argument to luax_register_type, rather than being statically defined in an array.
- luax_register_type takes a variable number of method array arguments, for registering superclass methods without copying them into the subclass' method array.
Also removed most of the header declarations for wrapper functions.
getState returns an implementation-dependent string representing the current state of the RandomGenerator's PRNG. setState sets the PRNG's state to an implementation-dependent string.
Changed love.math.randomseed(seed) to love.math.setRandomState(state) and love.math.setRandomState(low, high). Added low, high = love.math.getRandomState().
love.math.setRandomState(state) can set the random state to an integer of up to 53 bits, love.math.setRandomState(low, high) can set the random state to a 64 bit integer by using the first argument as the lower 32 bits and the second argument as the higher 32 bits.
This allows for reliable setting and saving of the state of a RNG.
