You can load chunk and then dump it to bytecode:

let bytecode = lua.load("return 1 + 1").into_function()?.dump(true);

// To load it back
let result = lua.load(&bytecode).set_mode(ChunkMode::Binary).eval::<i32>()?;
assert_eq!(result, 2);

Starting from 0.8.0 bytecode can be loaded without restrictions (since too many ways available to load bytecode and too much effort to protect all that places).
On the previous versions Lua must be created via unsafe_new.
