You can't[*] --- Lua locals aren't kept track of by name internally and 
are stored in an entirely different manner (which is why they're fast). 
The only way of accessing your local is to call a C function with it as 
an explicit parameter.


[*] To be technically accurate you can. But it requires a lot of hairy 
knowledge of the Lua internals, breaks easily, and is not actually 
useful except for debugging purposes.
