A real example:
typedef struct pthread_mutex_t_* pthread_mutex_t;
int pthread_mutex_init (pthread_mutex_t * mutex, const
pthread_mutexattr_t * attr);
int pthread_mutex_destroy (pthread_mutex_t * mutex);
In C, you'd say:
pthread_mutex_t m;
pthread_mutex_init(&m, 0);
pthread_mutex_destroy(&m);
In Lua you want to say:
m = new_mutex()
m:destroy()
Hopefully with a minimum of wrappings and allocations.
