I don't have opinions on the name but I do have a set of feature
requirements. I am currently using luaffi which needs some work to remove
the non portable parts, but that's not far off. Happy to switch but I do
need access to struct members like tables, nested structs, unions, casts,
metatables for structs. If there was an outline design doc that would be
helpful.
