+Have an array of functions and argument types.
+Compiler startup writes a short script that loads this module as normal, then calls the special "gimme the LSL" function.
+  The function runs through the array, calling back to C, passing each function definition.
+  It also runs through the constants, calling back to C, passing each constant type, name, and value.
+  In both cases, it could just combine them all (variables and functions together) into one big string blob to pass to the lexer+parser.
+Hook up the metatable _call method to check if the function is in the array, then pass it to OpenSim.
+  The array includes any return type, so _call knows if it has to wait for the reply.
+  So the function array should have some structure, to be able to tell the function name, and the various types.

 -- Using a module means it gets compiled each time?  Maybe not if I can use bytecode files.  Perhaps LuaJIT caches these?
 --   Does not seem to be slowing it down noticably, but that might change once the stubs are filled out.
