  Neovim plugin for moving lines up and down

Over the past few days, I've been working on a library to simplify the development of Neovim plugins in Rust. I started writing nvim-utils when I was working on moveline but realized how many bindings I would need to interact with the Lua API using the mlua crate. Separating the bindings into a separate crate was the only logical option.

I considered nvim-rust-utils but didn't want to include "rust" in a crate name on crates.io, and I think the crate name and repo should match.

Do you have a concrete example of this? For any functions that return numbers or booleans it is basically free. Strings and tables need an extra allocation (used to be more until I improved it with https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/19877) but if you're getting buffer text then you need to allocate anyway.
