	As mentionned later, I also do think loosing binary compatibility with
Lua (and LuaJIT) isn't the good way.
	Lua as a lot of interrestings mechanism. I'd try myself using weak
table as a storage (so that resident objects can be gc'ed) and playing
with the __index metamethod (so that resident objects are directly used
and non-resident will have to be fetched).
