 ===== methods i don't understand the function of yet: =====
-lis(lv*)
+lis(lv*) lil(lv*) lmistr(lv*) lmnat(lv*,lv*) - i think this is signalling that the method in question is a native function?
-lil(lv*)
-lmistr(lv*)

 also what are x and i
+===== API docs now that i understand it a bit better =====
+`lv` is a variable that's a struct. the actual `char *` is member `sv`.
+When defining an interface with `ikey`, the second arg can be lmnat if it's supposed to call a function with arguments (a native method) or it can be just a function call that returns an lv* or it can be just an lv* itself, if it should be a member and not a method.
+invoking a method via lmnat will cause the first arg to be lv *self and the second to be lv *a. i'm unsure what self is, but a is a list of arguments.
+lmnat, lms and so on are all declared via the lm(str, int) macro
