Re: luabind and std::multimap

I did some work a while ago with direct access to stl containers from 
lua, I'll see if I can dig up the code this evening.

This is a pre-coffee suggestion, but rather than exporting the pairs you 
may want to consider writing a set of adapters and including them in 
luabind itself. The one for the multimap itself would present itself as 
a table. The keys into the table could then be presented as tables 
themselves which iterate across std::pair< std::lower_bound, 
std::upper_bound >
