See etc/pp.lua in the distribution. It contains a redefinition of dofile that
uses an implementation of the 3.x preprocessor. The same kind of redefinition
can be used to pass a file through a trivial gsub that changes "method ()" to
"function (self)" and "method (" to "function (self, " (in this order).
