This function will take a reference obtained by the ref function and returns its Lua element.
Note
This function was originally created to prevent garbage-collection of specific Lua objects/elements which should persist even though no script would reference them. The storage of those references can be obtained by a call to the debug.getregistry function. The ref and deref template can easily be remade using a locally-hidden Lua table and two such function implementations.
