However, they do feature in: strings /usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/curses.a | less and also in lcurses.c, where they get put not in the curses table but in two metatables which are subsequently deleted and whose function I can't decypher. Overall, I find this zero-documentation, zero-testscript, zero-examples style doesn't work well for me. If anyone can get it tamed and up onto luarocks.org then great thanks and kudos to them; it's important infrastructure.
