226! (If I am counting correctly :)
I started with Daniel's version and used loadstring and gsub to "compress" the repeated sequences... (Didn't actually test the result :)
loadstring(('dA,t)if"table"~=type(a)thenBaCt={}r=r or{}r[a]=t Da[r[x]or d(x,r)]=r[y]or d(y,r)CBtCtable.copy={shallowA)b={}Db[x]=yCBbC,deep=d}'):gsub('%u',{A='=function(a,r',B=' return ',C=' end ',D='for x,y in next,a do '}))()
I doubt you can get an improvement with `load`.
load"local a=..."
is three characters longer than
function(a)end
You can cache the prologue in a variable, but two functions is too
little to gain from it:
L="local a,b,c=..."load(L.."")load(L.."")
function(a,b,c)endfunction(a,b)end
