eclass is a simple object-oriented implementation of Lua

# Example
base class

```lua
require("eclass") -- declare class function

local Cbase = class("base") -- declare a class

function Cbase:_init_(name) -- constructor
self.name = name -- class member value.
end

function Cbase:hello() -- class function
return self.name
end

function Cbase:_del_() -- destructor
print("base del ... " .. self.name)
end

return Cbase
```

class one

```lua
require("eclass")
local Cbase = require("base")

Cone = class("one", Cbase) -- inherit

function Cone:_init_(name)
Cbase._init_(self, name) -- supper call
end

function Cone:say()
print("one start")
print("one say " .. self.name)
print("one end\n")
end

return Cone

```

class two

```
require("eclass")
local Cone = require("one")

CTwo = class("two", Cone)

function CTwo:_init_(name)
Cone._init_(self, name)
end

function CTwo:say()
print("two start")
print("two say " .. self.name)
print("call supper method.")
Cone.say(self)
print("two end\n")
end

return CTwo
```

class three

```lua
require("eclass")
local Cone = require("one")

CThree = class("three", Cone)

function CThree:_init_(name)
Cone._init_(self, name)
self._child = Cone.new("child") -- Recursive declaration.
end

function CThree:say()
print("three start.")
print("three say " .. self.name)
print("child say.")
self._child:say()
print("three end.")
end

return CThree
```

test fucntion

```lua
package.path = package.path .. ";../src/?.lua;"

require("eclass")

local Cone = require("one")
local Ctwo = require("two")
local CThree = require("three")

local one = Cone.new("one")
local two = Ctwo.new("two")
local three = CThree.new("three")

print(one:hello())
assert(one:hello() == "one")
assert(two:hello() == "two")
assert(three:hello() == "three")

one:say()
two:say()
three:say()

one = nil
two:say()
```
