Let's suppose that `nameIdx` and `nameIndex` are the same.

The next question is how `getNameIndex` should behave?

The return value (`nameIdx`) is compared with `staticTable.size`. But it is also used for dynamic table. If my understanding is correct, the index spaces of the two table are independent. I cannot understand what is returned from `getNameIndex`.

Can `getNameIndex` return `nil`? If `nameIdx` can be `nil`, `nameIdx <= staticTable.size` causes an error. If it cannot be `nil`, it means that an index for the name cab be always found, which, I think, is not realistic.
