Same here. The advantages of doing this are less code (Lua code is usually
shorter than C code using the API) and greater hackability from the Lua
side.
In the case of POSIX, moreover, I think staying close to C is a good
choice. It lets Lua users easily leverage all the existing documentation
about POSIX.
