It seems that the equality between function values has returned back
to its Lua 5.1 semantics.
1)
Why "function values caching" has been removed from Lua 5.4?
2)
Could we rely on the fact that in Lua 5.4+ any created function is
unique value?
Lua 5.4 has const locals in loops. Each loop iteration gets a new j,
which is const.
That just means each closure is using a different upvalue, and gets
closed on each loop iteration. Try calling them!
(Well, I could be wrong, I guess. Correct me if I'm wrong.)
