-- Really simple serializer:
function serialize(t, ignore_strings)
   ignore_strings = ignore_strings or false
   function _serialize(t) local s = ''
      for k,v in pairs(t) do
	 if type(v) ~= 'function' then
	    if type(k) == 'number' then s = s .. "[" .. k .. "]="
	    else s = s .. "['" .. k .. "']=" end

	    if type(v) == 'table' then s = s .. serialize(v) .. ','
	    elseif type(v) == 'string'    then
	       if ignore_strings == false then s = s .. "'" .. v .. "',"
	       else s = s .. v .. ',' end
	    else s = s .. v .. ','    end
	 end
      end
      return '{' .. s .. '}'
   end
   
   return _serialize(t)
