yield... doesn't ring a bell in Lua terms (and am about to leave).  You
don't mean yield as in how Ruby handles it, do you?  I don't want to
have the user pass around callbacks.  that's not fun.  something more
like

myvar = ask_user ( "Are you sure?" )

I'm not putting this stuff in front of programmers, I'm putting it in
front of users to do their macro scripting.  I want to avoid callbacks
(on their end) as much as possible.
