So, it would presumably remain cheap to go from having a __gc metamethod to
having a different __gc metamethod. It could even be cheap to going from
having a __gc metamethod to not having a __gc metamethod provided the
finalization code dealt with the missing method case. What would be
expensive would be gaining a __gc metamethod well after creation? That seems
fairly reasonable.
