I want `return Return()` inside a string.gsub to make the string.gsub 
return whatever I pass to the Return function. I want to be able to pass 
a function as a callback and force the called function to return early. 
I want to be able to `x = x and ((x == y and Return()) or (x == z and 
a)) or b`. I can't do any of this with a plain return statement.
