We can put userdata A into a table, and then set this table as
userdata B's environment.
If userdata B doesn't be collected, the userdata A must not be
collected . And then we can store the userdata A's pointer in the userdata
B safety now.
The only thing I worried about is moving garbage collector may change the
userdata's pointer. Or you can add a new meta method "moving" to a
userdata, if you have plans for a moving garbage collector :)
