I don't understand why anyone would do that. If one wants to
implement some extra methods, they can always create a wrapper
in Lua. Overwriting a metatable for this looks like a dirty hack.
Anyway, the patch is nearly impossible to review, because it is
basically a 100% diff. If you still think it's useful and really
want it to get reviewed, please split it properly: first move
index_mt and space_mt definitions from box.schema.space.bless
without introducing any functional changes, then export them.
