   * Lua functions come in three flavours

   * c) functions that throw other kinds of errors
   *
   * Calls to type a functions are simply forwarded to the C api.
   * Type c functions are executed in protected mode, to make sure they don't
   * longjmp() over us (and our destructors). This add a certain amount
   * overhead. If you care about performance, try using the raw versions (if
   * possible). Type b functions are not executed in protected mode atm. as
   * memory allocation errors don't happen that often (as opposed to the type c,
   * where the user get deliberately set a metamethod that throws an error).
   * That means those errors will do something undefined, but hopefully that
   * won't be a problem.
   *
   * Semantics are mostly identical to those of the underlying C api. Any
   * deviation is noted in the respective functions comment. The most important
   * difference is that instead of return values, we use exceptions to indicate
   * errors.	The lua and C++ exception mechanisms are integrated. That means
   * one can throw a C++ exception and catch it in lua (with pcall). Lua
   * error()s can be caught in C++ as exceptions of type lua::exception.

/*
 * Can be used to automatically pop temporary values off the lua stack on exit
 * from the function/block (e.g. via an exception). It's destructor makes sure
 * the stack contains exactly n items. The constructor initializes n to
 * l.gettop()+n_, but that can be later changed with the overloaded operators.
 * It is an error if stack contains less than n elements at entry into the
 * destructor.
 *
 * Proposed stack discipline for functions is this:
 * - called function always pops parameters off the stack.
 * - if functions returns normally, it's return values are on the stack.
 * - if function throws an exception, there are no return values on the stack.
 * The last point differs from lua C api, which return an error message on the
 * stack. But since we have exception.what() for that, putting the message on
 * the stack is not necessary.
