It is not always *necessary*, but it is a good practice. luaopen_
functions have type lua_CFunction, and therefore may assume that
they are called following the Lua protocol.

luaL_register does not have type lua_CFunction, so even if you wanted it
would be difficult to lua_call them :) It is for "internal" use.
