At this point, I feel I need some background on the Z* projects. Ever
since I've used Emacs, I thought it was a fantastic thing, pity about
the scripting language and its weirdly-borked implementation. (24-bit
numbers, anyone?). That something with the Emacs philosophy (Small-ish
C core, everything else done in Lua) would work very well (Mitchell's
Textadept is something very much in that direction. He is very proud
of his 2000 lines of C that shall not be extended)

Tell me about it! LDoc is now a bigger project than Penlight, and it
was initially 'just' to support my documentation needs on that project
