Jonathan's suggestion is merely a change to a library, not
to core Lua. In such a case, there is an alternative route to
respectability: contribute a module to LuaRocks. Let's say that
the module 'jgstring' returns a function that monkey-patches
the string library, saving the original functions in string.orig.
Once that is installed, it is a matter of
require"jgstring"()
