I'd prefer not having to test a flag explicitly in my script. I think 
it would have been nicer if my linehook could set a flag at the C 
level, and (if possible) have the Lua VM test this flag ...

I cannot use exit(), since that seems to abort my entire Mac 
application. I only want to abort the running script.
