It was thus said that the Great actboy168 once stated:

 Okay, I removed the call to lua_remove() and that cleared up the error
message. I then added a call to printf() in the close() function and did
the the following Lua code:
	do
	 local x = require "toclose"
	 print(x)
	end
 The output I got was:
	CLOSING!
	table: 0x949aa70
 Going back to the manual:
	Here, in the context of a C function, to go out of scope means that
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
	the running function returns to Lua, there is an error, or the index
	^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
	is removed from the stack through lua_settop or lua_pop. An index
	marked as to-be-closed should not be removed from the stack by any
	other function in the API except lua_settop or lua_pop.
		(emphasis added)
 So that explains "CLOSING" being printed before variable x being printed.
It also seems that once a variable is marked "toclose" on the stack in C,
then one should not shift it about via lua_remove() (and possibly
lua_insert()). It's looking like the manual should clarify aspects of
toclose variables on the C side of things.
