Class.lua code have problem when lua object inherit parent by the BaseClass function

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. create lua codes below
Parent = Class()
function Parent:constructor()
    self.name = "parent"
end
function Parent:f()
    self:a()
    self:b()
end
function Parent:a()
    print( self.name .. "  method a")
end
function Parent:b()
    print( self.name .. "  method b")
end

Child  = BaseClass(Parent) 
function Child:constructor()
    self.name = "child"
end
function Child:a()
print( self.name .. "  method a")
end

testObject = Child()
testObject:f() 
testObject:a()
testObject:b()

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
the print result is so strange
parent method a
parent method b
parent method a
parent method b

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
current repository 

Please provide any additional information below.

attached files have a patch with correct output  and test code
child method a
child method b
child method a
child method b

Looks good so far, but your patch breaks the "inheritance" of 
swig-generated-classes.
e.g. see the Runtime/Samples/FSM.blend (line 76).

Could you somehow include this kind of inhertiance too?

One possible way would be to check to use your kind of inheritance if the type 
to extend is a table and the old version otherwise.
But actually that is not very nice because your version of inheritance for 
lua-based classes seem to work perfect but the one with swig-bases types 
actually doesn't. This is more overwriting plus extending...
Since you seem to know much better about lua-internal stuff, maybe you can find 
a way for both.

hi thomas,
   I had rewrite the lua code, the swig type is ok and also the inheritance ,but  it may be a little ugly. I just add swig type check and then manually overload their function.
