If that is an issue for the OP, don't use lightuserdata, an alternate
technique is to use the fn ptr value encoded as a hex string.

While ANSI allows sizeof(void (*)()) to be > sizeof(void*), its pretty
unusual (I've never seen it). IIRC, traditional/pre-ANSI C required
any ptr, including functions pointers, to be castable to void* without
loss.
