I would just like to [politely] point out that I stated earlier in
this chain (or the other thread?) that I realize userdata is used for
encapsulation in many ways.  I recognize that it would be an
insecurity to expose the contents of every userdata, so I wish for a
way to control this through the debug interface -- I don't know what
that would look like.
