That's actually an expressive syntax, but not having access to module
scope within these functions _would_ be irritating.

Current thinking is that getfenv/setfenv is available, just not quite
so conveniently.  Use the debug functions, or if that is considered
horrible, load the fenv module dynamically.  As long as lua_getfenv
exists, all will be fine ;)
