- Can export functions + types to lua
- Documentation...

Questions and feedback
How can a plugin developer explore the APIs available?
- the "lua/meta" files are documented with their APIs
Is there a lua JIT?
- There is (not official), but we don't use it.
The API Qt Creator exposes to Lua is limited
- Creator team is careful with adding APIs due to concerns of future API debt
- considering exposing QWidget APIs
- Which way is the best way to expose APIs?
- auto-expose all of widgets?
- be more selective?
- Security concerns (e.g. careful thought must be put in exposing file access and network access)
