PiL, 2nd ed., 27.3, implements a more minimal form of that same idea.  (PiL also
omits the n <= LUA_MINSTACK check, which I think is ok.)

Your example does illustrate a case where it would be useful for different
functions to have different metatables.  #t should have different behaviors
depending on whether the closure t represents a tuple or something else.  An
alternative is to wrap the closure in a table or, maybe, multiplex the function
metatable.
