The closest may be

  local t = {}
  setmetatable(t, {__newindex = function(t,k,v)
    local i = k:match'^_(%d+)$'
    rawset(t, i and tonumber(i) or k, v)
  end})

  function t._1() print '1' end
  t[1]()

var there can lead to some confusion:

  function f(x)[1](y) end

because parenthesis are used in multiple ways in Lua (as well as in
math): expression grouping, function calls, and function argument
lists.
