One way is to use a proxy table that is always empty and set __index/__newindex
metamethods to read/write from your table or C. Something like this:

C={}	-- proxy for C vars

setmetatable{C,{
	__index = function (t,i) get and return C var i end
	__newindex = function (t,i,v) set C var i to v end
})

The same idea works for implementing the old gettable/settable tag methods.
