-Sol was designed to be correct and fast, and in the pursuit of both uses the regular ``lua_to{x}`` functions of Lua rather than the checking versions (``lua_check{X}``) functions. The API defaults to paranoidly-safe alternatives if you have a ``#define SOL_CHECK_ARGUMENTS`` before you include Sol, or if you pass the ``SOL_CHECK_ARGUMENTS`` define on the build command for your build system. By default, it is off and remains off unless you define this, even in debug mode. The same goes for ``#define SOL_SAFE_USERTYPE``.
