You are entirely missing the point... déjà vu?

Lua, out-of-the-box, already provides this functionality at the, er, 
function level. Even though, you could get to local variables if you 
really wanted to for some obscure reasons:

http://www.lua.org/pil/23.1.1.html

In the thread at hand, I was under the impression that we where talking 
about "packaging" Lua's existing functionalities to make them a tad 
more "object oriented"... what "a tad more 'object oriented'" means in 
practice, and in the context of Lua, is left as an exercise to the 
interested reader...

Right... I can read to:

http://www.lua.org/pil/16.4.html

In any case, I personally find all this circus to forcefully enforce 
encapsulation a total waste of time, personally that this. YMMV.
