Another question... has this been tested in a multithreaded
environment... as in an environment where there are multiple threads
accessing the same 'global' Lua state with lua_Lock/Unlock performing
synchronization.

If there are any potential test scripts that could take advantage of
an api like ->

thread.create(fn) -> thread object
thread.join(thread object)

that would potentially expose problems?
