/* Upvalues are tricky. Here's why.
 *
 * A particular upvalue may be either "open", in which case its member v

 * upvalue itself. An upvalue is closed under any of the following conditions:
 * -- The function that initially declared the variable "local" returns
 * -- The thread in which the closure was created is garbage collected
 *
 * To make things wackier, just because a thread is reachable by Lua doesn't
 * mean it's in our root set. We need to be able to treat an open upvalue
 * from an unreachable thread as a closed upvalue.
 *
 * The solution:
 * (a) For the purposes of serializing, don't indicate whether an upvalue is
 *     closed or not.
 * (b) When unserializing, pretend that all upvalues are closed.
 * (c) When serializing, persist all open upvalues referenced by a thread
 *     that is persisted, and tag each one with the corresponding stack position
 * (d) When unserializing, "reopen" each of these upvalues as the thread is
 *     unserialized
