Have you considered the idea recently discussed on this list of having
some type predicates which could used instead of "type(...) = ..."
(given that the latter is often flaky and the wrong thing in the
presence of metatables).
E.g., callable(...), indexable(...) etc.
Maybe a single general predicate would work, e.g., something like
"applicable (OBJ, KEY)" where KEY is the assocated metamethod ('__call',
'__index', etc).
