30 /// Showcases how to define Lua functions from C++ code.
31 ///
32 /// A major selling point of Lua is that it is very easy too hook native C and
33 /// C++ functions into the runtime environment so that Lua can call them.  The
34 /// purpose of this example program is to show how this is done by using Lutok.
