I know there are considerable implications to the module ecosystem
that need to be carefully considered, but as a more general
application, consider returning the metatable name of userdata as the
subtype.

There have been some occasions I really wanted to know the "subtype"
of the userdata so I could do special or different handling.

Thanks,
