I wonder if its possible to make a similiar 'base' lib for that type of functionality, though I don't nearly have enough understanding of the 'low level' metatable handling to implement embeddable libs like AceLib did.

I never used Ace in any of my wow addons. WoW added a new functionality around version 3.0 where you could put local addonName, addonData = ... at the top of every file in your addon to access a common data table between them. If they used Ace inside WoW as standard it was never documented as such.
