I've looked through LLDB's sources, and I've found out what the return
value of HandleCompletions means (see new comment in emacs_lldb.py in
master.  So, I'll definitely add that later.

I also kind of found what the preferred API of LLDB is, which I think
you asked earlier: I think it's C++.  LLDB is actually a library, and
the lldb executable itself is a thin wrapper using LLDB's C++ API to do
its job.  Likewise for other tools using LLDB.

I think the whole API is also available through Python, i.e. the classes
in the lldb module, like lldb.SBValue.  The API is pretty
under-documented though, also in C++.
