Although the LuaPlus remote debugger is no longer supported, it used an 
API addition to Lua called lua_setloadnotifyfunction().  From there, it 
could grab source code and send it over the network to the debugger.

Decoda sounds like it does something similar, only it was able to do so 
without patching the Lua source code.
