src/ldo.c now has a minimal diff with Lua 5.1.
It might be a bit slower than it was before, but not noticeably so..
This approach doesn't support indirect calls.
I fucking hate feature macros. Egregious discharge of our
division-of-labor-obsessed society. People should be able to introduce
names. People should be able to give up names to lower levels of
abstraction when they encounter conflicts.
Feature macros seem to exist[1] to support more than two levels of
abstraction. You try to build, one of your libraries fails to build
because of a conflict between it and one level down. You don't want to
modify this library. Just fucking https://catern.com/change_code.html
already. But no, I have to litter my code with feature macros even
though I just want the abstraction the original library provides.

No way to select between them. That complicates the UI too much when we
do so much with the cursor. But it's still useful to suggest things to
type in after ctrl-g.
