Like Roberto pointed out, the value of variables inside functions is determined
at runtime, not compiled time, and this now works even for local variables
(now that we don't have frozen values, aka % upvalues.)

So, in your example, you could write

local f,g
f, g = function () ... g() ... end, function () ... f() ... end
