Aww, thanks.. I didn't know about stripping.

So, please correct me, if I am wrong. To properly change environment
of Lua function, that function should in general follow "_ENV is first
upvalue" protocol. This is only guaranteed for newly compiled chunks,
i.e. load() with source string argument, and not for string.dump'ed or
other arbitrary chunks.
