Lua C API can't be used from other languages without C wrappers

["Soni \"They/Them\" L." <fakedme@...>]

It was recently brought to my attention that the Lua C API is strictly a 
C API, and not as universal as some ppl claim it to be.[1]

More specifically, it's unsafe to directly call this API from any sort 
of FFI!
This includes LuaJIT FFI, Python CFFI, any of the many FFI wrappers for 
Java, and so on!

Would it be possible to have a built-in "Universal API with C calling 
conventions"? Thanks. :)
