But these situations are not as common as people think; it's still
best to measure the hot spots.

If you have consistently used 'obj:method(args)'  then you can later
change the implementation without breaking too much.

Also, test with LuaJIT, since it is an optimizing JIT compiler and
already knows a few tricks, like hoisting a method out of a loop.
