The code I provided is simplified and is triggering argument type error
intentionally, in order to focus on my concern.

"f = function() end" looks like an anonymous function to me.
It would have a name in debugger if it were defined like this:
"function f() end".
I got the point though.
So should I somehow assign a name to my function when I push it
to the Lua stack? Maybe there's a specific way for that?

Thanks for the hints.
