Not the OP, but it may be the opposite problem ( he wants to pass the
table to someone which calls arbitrary methods, possibly with a
somehow more complicated logic for function generation ).

If it were just the file, he could just call print("abc",...) ;->  I
would assume it is a proof of concept of a more complex thing ( given
the global variable usage, among other things ).
