lua_dump simply dumps a Lua function in binary format as luac does. It does
not saves the whole Lua state. As for you concern with registered C functions,
Lua binds names at runtime. But yes, if you save your "state" and later
(in another run of your program) loads and runs it, you'll need to have to
reregister C functions.
