And now reading the docs
(http://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/manual.html#luaL_newmetatable) I
noticed that luaL_newmetatable *doesn't* do anything if the key
already exists.
This is slightly better for the reloading situation: it means that
things won't break as I mentioned earlier with luaL_checkudata.
