debug.setmetatable sets global per-type metatable, setmetatable sets 
local per-value metatable, setmetatype sets per-chunk per-type 
metatable. (this doesn't support per-scope but meh w/e), 
debug.setmetatype(chunk, obj, table) sets per-chunk per-type metatable.

debug.getmetatype/debug.getmetatable/getmetatype/getmetatable gets 
metatables.

Not sure how we would __metatable.
