In the userdata case, metamethods are merely a way of
mapping object methods to Lua syntax. Unfortunately,
"one key, one value" is part of Lua syntax.
 var ::= Name | prefixexp ‘[’ exp ‘]’ | prefixexp ‘.’ Name
Your proposal exposes a gap if not an ambiguity in the 5.3
manual. The __index metamethod is a function, it must behave
exactly as rawgetting a table would — but it requires deduction.
almost reading between the lines, to extract that information.
The 5.2 manual was clear on the topic, giving pseudocode
for gettable_event. Maybe something like that could be
brought back.
