I think you're right about the potential crash. You can encapsulate your
function in a userdata with a __call metamethod. And then when the
function is called after the dll is unloaded you have to make sure your
__call function can detect it and raise an error. However this means
that your __call function is never unloaded, and whether it's feasible
depends on your dll loader/unloader.
