How useful would it be for Lua to access to the query/content/parser API be?
I am suspecting there could be a lot of creative usages of this, including getting data from the wikidata (which won't have to do anything special to enable this)
If you provided full access to ApiQuery*, resource limiting would be fairly difficult, since it provides lots of ways to do unlimited table scanning regardless of result set size. As for the Wikidata application -- the interface would be awkward compared to something made specifically for interfacing Wikidata with Lua.
