What metamethod is print()?
I am making a custom lua enviroment in c++ using metamethods. I am confused of what metamethod would call print()? I think it is __call but I am not quite sure.

No metamethod calls print.
On the other hand, print calls tostring, which respects the __tostring metamethod.
