Alternatively... a more baroque approach could use a function 
environment and therefore not require an additional argument, e.g.:

local function quote( aValue )
    return ('%q'):format( tostring( aValue ) )

local t = { 'hi', 5, nil, 4, function() end, {} }

setfenv( concat, { encoder = quote } )

print( concat( t, ' ' ) )
