That's inversion of control. Lua already supports that with the
help of coroutines. And lucky you, you can yield from a count hook
(or line hook).
So from C do a lua_newthread() and then lua_sethook() to install
your count hook. When the hook decides that the timeout is reached
it forces a yield for the coroutine with 'return lua_yield(L, 0)'.
