I do the same kind of thing with Darwin
(http://lua-users.org/wiki/JimJennings) as you do with import.  I
don't lock down new global creations, though, because Darwin allows
each module to use 'strict' independently of what other modules and
main programs do.

As a result, if you write code with 'strict' or with a global
metatable like yours that prevents creating new globals, your code
will run in that environment under Darwin, while other code does not
have to run under the same rules.
