OK, but that means a callback, where a function in my LUA-script is
called asynchronously, isn't possible!? My LUA interpreter is running
all the time, the script is somehow "endless" (there is of course an
exit condition but it is intended to do some work for longer time).
And during this time I need to inject some additional information the
currently running script has to use...
