 * - 'maxrec' the maximum complexity of objects we support (the nesting level
 *            of tables, for example). This can be useful to avoid segmentation
 *            faults due to too deep recursion when working with user-provided
 *            data.
 * - 'path'   whether to generate a "path" used to indicate where in an object
 *            an error occurred. This adds considerable overhead and should
 *            only be used to debug errors as they appear.
 * - 'spio'   whether to pass IO objects along as light userdata to special
 *            persistence functions. When persisting this will pass along the
 *            lua_Writer and its void* in addition to the original object, when
 *            unpersisting it will pass along a ZIO*.
 * - 'spkey'  the name of the field in the metatable of tables and userdata
 *            used to control persistence (on/off or special persistence).
 *
 * If an unknown name is specified this will throw an error.
