### GetErrorInfo(context string) *LuaError
Extracts detailed error information from the Lua stack.
```go

return C.lua_pcall(s.L, C.int(nargs), C.int(nresults), 0)
})
err := L.GetErrorInfo("MyFunction")

## Validation
### CheckArgs(specs ...ArgSpec) error
Validates function arguments against specifications.
```go
err := s.CheckArgs(

if err != nil {
return s.PushError(err.Error())
}
```
## Table Building
### NewTableBuilder() *TableBuilder
Creates a new table builder for fluent table construction.
```go
L.NewTableBuilder().
SetString("name", "John").
SetNumber("age", 30).
SetBool("active", true).
Build()
```
