This may be fine when creating a co-routine from
a Lua context. But I am calling lua_newthread from
a C context. Does that mean I should call lua_newthread
through lua_pcall if I am to prevent my application
from exiting on an error? If so, what other Lua API
functions should be treated with similar caution?
