Would it be correct to say, "all functions which take a stack index

or when stackspace equals X

BTW, is there a way of knowing "available stack space"? Alternately a "bool lua_isacceptable(L, index)" would be a nice function to have.

int lua_checkstack(lua_State *L, int extra);

Actually, on reflection that's not exactly what you're asking for. But lua_gettop (http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#lua_gettop) gets you the size of the stack. So these two give you what you need, or not?
