I thought about avoiding patching at all... You can supply your own 
equivalent to loadstring/loadfile. It will transform source and load it 
through old loadstring.

Pros:

- No need to patch anything
- No need to understand VM magic

I tried to imagine a feature that cannot be done in such a way, but failed.
