That's an interesting idea which I haven't approached yet. I've just
considered script and binding alterations at the moment, but I can see
how this would save space.

Note to Lua authors: How about making the debug/introspection code
optional (i.e. with #ifdef LUA_DEBUG_SUPPORT) ? I.e. this cuts out the
whole debug library and dependent code.
