How can I use scintillua lexers to replace minted or listings with luatex?

Question

Scintilla is a text editor. Scintillua adds dynamic Lua LPeg lexers to Scintilla for multiple languages. According to the documentation, Scintillua can be used as a library:

Using Scintillua as a Lua Library

In order to use Scintillua as a Lua library, simply place the lexers/ directory in your Lua path (or modify Lua’s package.path accordingly), require() the library and load() a lexer, and call that lexer’s lex() function. Here is an example interactive Lua session doing this:

$> lua
Lua 5.1.4  Copyright (C) 1994-2008 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> lexer_path = '/home/mitchell/code/scintillua/lexers/?.lua'
> package.path = package.path..';'..lexer_path
> c = require('lexer').load('ansi_c')
> tokens = c:lex('int void main() { return 0; }')
> for i = 1, #tokens, 2 do print(tokens[i], tokens[i+1]) end
type    4
ansi_c_whitespace   5
type    9
ansi_c_whitespace   10
identifier  14
operator    15
operator    16
ansi_c_whitespace   17
operator    18
ansi_c_whitespace   19
keyword 25
ansi_c_whitespace   26
number  27
operator    28
ansi_c_whitespace   29
operator    30

I was wondering if it would be possible to use those lexers as a lua replacement for minted or listings? In addition, it seems that Scintillua supports code folding that could be used to underline code structure as in an old question of mine. What would be the basic code for interacting between TeX and lua (catcodes, etc.)?
