raw
---

Motivation
~~~~~~~~~~

This converter policy will pass through the ``lua_State*`` unmodified.
This can be useful for example when binding functions that need to 
return a ``luabind::object``. The parameter will be removed from the
function signature, decreasing the function arity by one.

Example

        def("greet", &greet, **raw(_1)**)
    ];

    > print(greet())
