If you drop

#define LUAJIT_ENABLE_LUA52COMPAT 1

in LuaJIT's luaconf.h, then the metatables __pairs, __ipairs and __len
are available for tables.

As for re-entry safe standard functions, I'm sure he would be open to
that kind of fix.

Even __gc for tables is part of his roadmap for the next-generation
garbage collector.
