More accurately, it should return the number of values it pushed,
which for most push functions will always be 1.

That would simplify returning a value slightly:

return lua_pushinteger(L, 42);

instead of:
lua_pushinteger(L, 42);
return 1;


How about

return (lua_pusxx(), 1)

A clever hack, but there's a high likelihood of confusion since the
language being interfaced with supports multiple return values,
whereas comma operator hacks in C are considered bad form.

With the odd special exception (for example, it’s nearly impossible to write a decent assert() macro without it).
