Description

After merging https://github.com/natecraddock/ziglua/issues/52, most of the combined library code is relatively clean. One area I would like to improve is the debug library.

I am not sure on the how or the what, but this is a reminder to take a look and see if we can build a more "ziggy" interface on top of what Lua provides. Bonus points if it also hides some of the differences between Lua versions

Research direction

Start by examining the existing debug library and the Lua C API bindings in ziglua. Define what a more Zig-oriented interface should cover and how it could hide differences between Lua versions; the work is done when that scope and the resulting interface are agreed and implemented.
