Due to the introduction of labels, '@' can now appear as the first
character in a valid Lua chunk. This means that the following passage
from lua_Debug is incorrect: "If source starts with a '@', it means
that the function was defined in a file where the file name follows
the '@'. If source starts with a '=', the rest of it should describe
the source in a user-dependent manner. Otherwise, the function was
defined in a string where source is that string."
