I better thought about this problem and the __call metamethod does not
make the affair since, for assignments, the syntax:

m(i,j) = value

will be invalid.

So I still need to hack the __index and __newindex metamethods.

Please give me some hints about the Lua code so that I can modify it.
I need a real solution and a modification of Lua is really needed!
