Unfortunately, this is not always a suitable situation. For
example, one place where I use Lua scripts a lot is in SVN post-
commit hooks where I need the ability to have the Lua
interpreter return a non-zero status code. I use os.exit() to do
this; the only other way to get a non-zero status at exit would
be to throw an uncaught error, which results in messages
appearing client-side which looks like a server error instead of
a user error.
