You could maybe do:

    debug.setmetatable(function()end, {__index=functionallibrary})

So with a function in the library

    function map(f, t) ... end

You can print:map(sometable). Of course all functions have to share the 
metatable and chaining or currying would be more awkward. Maybe if the 
functional library returns functions. Then it would be print:map(sometable)()
