I'd still disagree. The logic is mostly trivial; if the representation
format changes (which is, I guess, unlikely), we would have to break the
API anyway. And these functions implement searching in terms of the data
we already provide to scripts.
It also gives an opportunity to change the way the searching is done
(e.g. using a Lua table) if linear search becomes too slow; the C side,
on the other hand, only needs to do resolving on startup.
