That would be nice. A system that would allow me to "mark" any table as 
persistent, would be extremely interesting. Persistent table in Lua 
could be what file descriptors are in C. Just as UNIX is a provider of 
file descriptors to C, this system could be the foundation of a "true 
Lua OS". Just imagine an I/O  bound table! Pair it with a 
coroutine-based dispatcher and you got a very clever environment.

Now, for persistor, my intention was to do the smallest system that 
would do something useful (for small values of useful). If anything, I'm 
not satisfied because it came out too long. I would be glad to drop 
functionality (bear with me) for a neater implementation.
