And this will never cause the "attempt to yield across metamethod/C-call
boundary" error (that can happen in lua_yield() if L->nCcalls > 0? 

It seems like there are some conditions that this might not work under
(but perhaps I misunderstand the source).  In particular, if the hook
happens while a metamethod is running or inside of lua code called
from c code from lua code, will it happily yield or will there be an
error.
