-- gen_LuaState_Call.lua
-- Generates the cLuaState::Call() function templates that are included from LuaState.h
--[[
The cLuaState::Call() family of functions provides a template-based system for calling any Lua function
either by name or by reference with almost any number of parameters and return values. This is done by
providing a number of overloads of the same name with variable number of template-type parameters. To
separate the arguments from the return values, a special type of cLuaState::cRet is used.
