Yes. I can't add anything similar to LuaJIT, because C functions
still _do_ have an environment in 5.1.

I can't change the C ABI either, or LuaJIT wouldn't be a drop-in
replacement for a Lua 5.1 shared library. Just adding new
functions would work of course, but I don't think it's a good idea
to mix up ABIs.
