It'd be nice if the runtime checks were as cheap as possible though --
e.g., _G actually contains the global values and doesn't incur an
__index call for every lookup!

Looking at the example "strict" module, it calls "debug" module stuff,
which seems a little bit dodgy to me (I generally have the idea that
the debug module shouldn't be used when not debugging...).
