Here's the Lua 5.2 compatibility functions from Penlight, which are
all in utils.lua, line 200

https://github.com/stevedonovan/Penlight/blob/master/lua/pl/utils.lua

The setfenv implementation is by by Sergey Rozhenko, see:

 http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2010-06/msg00313.html

Note that utils.lua does not depend on any other module; anyone is
welcome to mine it (or the rest of Penlight) for useful snippets.
