It's quite useful for testing and well-defined. However you
shouldn't convert a Lua function to a C function pointer only to
call the C function from Lua. It calls out of the VM and then back
into the VM, with 2x argument/result conversions etc.

You can simply call any Lua function directly from Lua. :-)
