Well, what's the point in creating different struct types with
identical contents? Because you want different metatypes, but why?

Types are not the proper mechanism for this. Dispatch from a
single set of metamethods instead.

And you realize that "return d[i]" refers to the upvalue 'd' and
not to o.d? I don't think that's what you want.

Every different type spawns a new trace that's attached to the
previous trace. There's a limit to this and after that you end up
in the interpreter.
