Like everything else in Lua (now!), scope is purely lexical. So your hopes
are founded.

The closest thing is "global in globals()" but the best solution is to
use do..end scopes.

Yes, lightweight userdata cannot have a metatable. They're much like numbers.
Some people were using doubles to store pointers to overcome perceived
"inefficiencies" in userdata. Lightweight userdata avoids these uglys hacks.
