I asked this before, but, did you consider to use a *named* upvalue
for the environment.  Something like

  in c = <expr> do ... end

where globals in the "..." part are looked up in the upvalue c.  This
has the advantage that you can swap the environment of the entire
block at once:

  local setenv

  in c = <expr> do
    <some code>
    function setenv(x)
      c = x
    end
  end

Calling setenv with a new table will now swap the environment of all
functions that are created in the block.

Bye,
