I've found the split between actual loading and setfenv useful -- e.g.,
it lets you evaluate a loaded file in different contexts.  It seems that
you're going to have to define multiple new load functions (not just
but "loadfilein", "loadstringin", ...); isn't just having a single
setter nicer?

Also, what about getfenv?  It currently allows a lua function to copy
its caller's environment, which is useful for e.g., writing an
"include()" function.
