3.3.2.1 Extensible interfaces

LuaCOM allows the use of properties as simple Lua fields just for objects that have type information. Nevertheless, some objects that have type information describing their interfaces implement properties that are not described in the type library: these objects implement extensible interfaces. Those properties can only be used with accessor functions, as shown in section 2. An example of such behaviour is found in WMI objects (Windows Management Instrumentation).
