-There are 4 kinds of constructors here. One allows construction of a object from other reference types such as :doc:`sol::table<table>` and :doc:`sol::stack_reference<stack_reference>`. The secon creates an object which references the specific element at the given index in the specified ``lua_State*``. The more advanced ``in_place...`` constructors create a single object by pushing the specified type ``T`` onto the stack and then setting it as the object. It gets popped from the stack afterwards (unless this is an instance of ``sol::stack_object``, in which case it is left on the stack).
