History and transparent handling of multiline statements are available in the
work version of lua.c at http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/lua/work/ .
See my lua-l posting of Nov 22 for details.

This versions includes one shortcuts: "=" for "return" and in this case it
prints the values returned. Great to use Lua as a calculator or debugger.
