For what it's worth, I like to use debug.setfenv/debug.getfenv with a
newproxy() userdata to store private data with an object from Lua.
There's no way to do this with tables (that I know of) except with a
relatively clunky local table where the keys are objects and the
values are the private data.

The way I came up with is to store the table with private variables in a special key that's skipped by 'next'. The key is a local object, so it can't be found otherwise. I even made the attached script back then, which allows any script to have its own set of private variables in any table. I haven't published it though.
