There is support for metatables for function, only not from Lua, just from C.
Or you can use debug.setmetatable. See the example below.

debug.setmetatable(print,{
	__add = function(f,g) return function (...) return g(f(...)) end end})

function f(x) return x+1 end
function g(x) return x^2 end

h=f+g assert(h(2)==9)
h=g+f assert(h(2)==5)
