You can also change your api. Instead of returning an object that you need to close, you run a callback and pass in the object. When the callback returns, close the object. Some notes:
* when closing the object, set a flag so you know that the object is closed and throw an error from methods to avoid dereferencing the closed object.
* try to avoid calling the callback from c code otherwise it won't play nice with coroutines.

there's no refcount system in Lua.
but you can implement one: on your object initialization you can
register all 'open' objets in a global table, and another table where
you keep those that should stay open. periodically (or at the pcall()
exit) close any object that is still in the 'all objects' table and
not in the 'currently needed' table.
