It really is starting to look good.

If Emacs had a proper FFI, then it would be possible to re-use
lua-inspect there as well, but a FFI is not considered because someone
might link in some non-free code, and cause some Apocalypse:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2003-07/msg00425.html

This ideological problem does not apply to forks such as
http://www.sxemacs.org/, which does have a FFI but seems to be a
kitchen-sink-included parody of Emacs, including Twitter support ;)
