That's cool. LuaJIT is an attractive target for translation these days
and I remember that Fabien needed goto for code generation from
MetaLua.

What would be useful is some kind of #line directive.  Not absolutely
essential, if you keep an explicit line matching table and the script
execution is under your control (as in LuaMacro) but definitely a good
thing if you want to embed bytecode in your application.

I can not immediately see the problem with allowing Lua objects
control over their finalization; any issues that spring to mind?
