With the above patch you'll have additional functionality:
localplayer=getPlayer();
addText("Hello, " ..player:getName() .."!\r\n");
addText("Your ID is " ..player:getId() .."\r\n");
addText("The player object __tostring method returns: " ..player:__tostring());
sendOk();
resulting in:
Basically, getPlayer() returns a metatable + reference to the current player. Using getName() on this object in Lua, you can use the previously saved player reference (in the lua stack) to get the username.
The __tostring method is used for functions that support __tostring (for example, print()).
