Thanks for catching this.

Because I wasn't sure if it’s ok for C functions to rely on Lisp functions,
plus the function is simple enough. Right now if one doesn’t load treesit.el,
all the C functions work fine.

It shouldn’t hurt to expose the tree-sitter sexp. Other editors mainly use the
string syntax.
