Maybe LuaJIT2, as well as a compatibility patch to Lua 5.1, could
implement a non-standard "lua52_pushcfunction" that behaves like the
5.2 version?  Then the user may alias lua_pushcfunction and
lua52_pushcfunction via compiler defines to allow a single piece of
code to target different Lua versions (i.e. 5.1 + compatibility
patches, 5.2, and LuaJIT2).
