/** Simple toy program illustrating how to run Luaj in multiple threads. 
 * 
 * <p>By creating separate Globals in each thread, scripts can be run in each thread.
 * 
 * <p>However note the following:
 *  <ul><li>type-related metatables such as LuaNumber.s_metatable are shared by all threads, so are not thread-safe.
 *  </li><li>creating additional threads within a Java element called by lua could result in shared access to globals.
 *  </li></ul>
 *  
 * This can be used when all the scripts running can be trusted.  
 * For examples of how to sandbox scripts in protect against rogue scripts,
 * see examples/jse/SampLeSandboxed.java.
