That's interesting! I did a bit of searching and didn't find any info
on this. Does the LuaJIT pcall/error implementation differ
significantly from Lua 5.1? I've been wondering about using
pcall/xpcall for implementing things like finally-clauses as lua
functions. In what cases are pcall/xpcall expensive or cheap?
