Since the compiler needs to know the names of locals while it is 
compiling, it wouldn't be possible to compile without collecting that 
information. You could ditch the information after the compilation is 
done, which is what lhf's lua_strip() does. Theoretically, you could 
ditch the information a few microseconds earlier when the prototype is 
finalized, but you wouldn't really be saving anything.
