What I'd like Lua do for me:

• deterministic garbage collector for allowing automatic, immediate finalization of sparse resources
  • not as a replacement gc, but in addition to the normal gc: the ref. counting list would only get hit when objects with an __immediate_gc metamethod go out of scope
• iterators returning nil as the first value
• t[] as sugar for t[#t+1]; alternatively, ins(t,v[,index])
• obj:[method_name](...) for obj[method_name](obj,...)
• (obj:method) for function(...) return obj:method(...)
