Hi Bastien,

I'm afraid that doesn't really show me how I can build a document from
scratch similar to what is done in Haskell using a `Builder`.

I really would like to avoid learning Haskell and stick to the Lua API. But
I'm getting the impression that use of the Lua API requires understanding
of how the underlying Haskell objects interact.

Regards,

Amine
