// Main thread combines a thread state and the global state
typedef struct LG {
  lua_State l;

lua_State:
  &{Value; int tt} stack, stack_last, base, top
  GCObject* next
  byte tt  # type == THREAD

initializing a lua_State (lua_newstate)
  allocate space (including for globals)
  next = NULL
  stack = NULL
