## Description

This package provides functions to marshal and unmarshal pandoc
document types to and from Lua.

The values of most types are pushed to pandoc as "userdata"
objects that wrap a stable pointer to the Haskell value; these
objects come with methods to access and modify their properties.

Sequences are pushed as normal Lua tables, but are augmented with
convenience functions.
