For the example, in the source tree (can be viewed online through github):
src/mlt/src/swig/lua/play.lua

Docs are based on an understanding of the C API and how the C++ is a
fairly simple, straight-forward, and sensible wrapper around the C
API. For example, C -> C++ -> Lua: mlt_consumer_start() ->
Mlt::Consumer::start() -> mlt.Consumer.start().
Therefore, read C code/doxygen, lookup C++ equivalent in src/mlt++
headers, mentally map that to your language.
Sometimes it helps to view the C++ swig generates in src/swig/lua/mlt_wrap.cxx.
