-- GetControl now calls into C++ to avoid memory allocations resulting from string concatenation.
-- Previously this would do a lookup like: _G[controlName..suffix]. The problem is this function is
-- called a LOT of times, so that would end up doing tons of very small allocations.
-- To get around this problem we just pay the price of a Lua -> C++ call where we can sprintf to a temp
-- symbol and find the control without allocating memory.
