I choose to call it proxy because of the similarity. An alternative would have been "capsule", but the former is more fitting I believe for this kind of value.

I have an idea for Lua that I wish to share. It is called proxying, or envelopment of values, and is an extension to the Lua core adding a new type of value: proxy.

It should be noted that the idea of a proxy already exists in Lua. See <https://www.lua.org/pil/13.4.4.html>.
