This is true, and appears to save the binder writing documentation for
the idiomatic Lua API. It makes sense to the binder, because they're
fluent in C and can read any tutorials for the C API. But it poses a
problem to a more casual user, who may not know C. So it's worth
going the extra mile; and the thread (of course Coda!) is about doing
the extra idiomatic layer in _addition_. Depends totally on the
intended audience of course.
