Summary: New module: doc versus action

Initial Comment:
Because the functions in the new module give direct 
access to API functions, syntactically legal code that 
uses them can be more fragile than normal -- leading to 
possible core dumps (which are normally considered to 
be interpreter bugs).

Should Lib Ref 3.27 warn about this possibility?
Can the interfacing be strengthened to cover at least 
some bad inputs?
Can ceval be strengthed without slowing it down?
