So let's say I'm hacking the internals and I wanna force a Lua function

returning what it wants to return. How can I do this?
   Um ... insert a return statement where you want it to return, with the
data you want to return?

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.
