Kartik K. Agaram d8fcd648d7 ok, starting to make sense now
Putting together two resources:
  https://lucasklassmann.com/blog/2019-02-02-how-to-embeddeding-lua-in-c/#exposing-a-simple-variable
  https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/manual.html, section 2.1, "Values and Types", particularly the description of light user data.

And lo, I see lua_pushlightuserdata in lapi.c

Kartik K. Agaram a3c090ce09 get rid of LUAI_EXTRASPACE
Lua's power may come from extensibility, but the indirections are
currently in the way

Kartik K. Agaram c80bafed74 trying to make sense of how bindings are created
lua_State contains these StkId fields (stack, stack_last, base, top)
that expand to a pointer of a struct containing a Lua value and an int.
Unclear how it's used, or how you build a stack out of it.

Kartik K. Agaram 36ef0c236e a simple test "app": towers of hanoi
Currently it works with stock Lua and lcurses. Our job now is to build
in the bindings to make it work here.

Kartik K. Agaram 8d8580089f print's newline now returns to column 0
At this point I'm done making this repo ncurses-ready. Remaining files
that allude to stdin/stdout/stderr:

  lauxlib.c - unclear how these primitives should work; may kill them
  ldblib.c - unclear what debug experience should be
  liolib.c - might kill or simulate these
  luac.c - let the compiler continue to be a terminal program

Kartik K. Agaram 05fa5124c2 drop lua_stdin_is_tty

Kartik K. Agaram 1445cbc5b1 ncurses I/O in lua.c
Currently working:
  > print(1)
  1
   > print(2)
  2

Print's newline doesn't return to column 0 yet.

Ctrl-d no longer works. Ctrl-c exits cleanly.
