Well, in layman's terms, it allows you to create an OOP system. In Lua, most types of data are forms of userdatas; that is, file handles and similar. You can check the type of something using the 'type' function; you'll find that tables are used more in LoTRO, which don't allow for very detailed OOP systems.
