We might actually agree here ;-)

I do want the interface to be Lua-like in using Lua tables
and things like multiple return values where appropriate.
I have also thought the documentation/example issue and I think
that at least on the lowest level it is an advantage if the usage
resembles the C++ bindings. I guess it would be possible to
layer higher lever stuff on that kind of interface.
