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.
