why not do it in Lua?

do
  local storedfuncs={}
  local prevloadstring = loadstring

  function loadstring (code)
    local f = assert (prevloadstring(code))
    storedfuncs[f] = code
    return f
  end

  function getcode (f)
    return storedfuncs[f]
  end
end



now every call to loadstring will store a copy of the source code used
to create a given chunk, use getcode(f) to retrieve it.
