//
// LuaConsole:
//
// Used to parse commands that are being interactively typed
// in by a user.  The common usage pattern is:
//
//    1. Print the prompt suggested by 'get_prompt'.
//    2. Read a line of text from stdin.
//    3. Add the line to the LuaConsole using 'add'.
//    4. Get the command words using 'words'.
//    5. If the words are empty, do nothing.
//    6. If the words contain something, execute and call 'clear'.
//
// The 'words' returned by the luaconsole can be empty, meaning
// that there's no command to execute.  If the words are nonempty,
// then the first word is the command.  There are two hardwired
// commands:
//
//    lua <expr> - execute a lua expression
//    syntax <message> - print a syntax error message
//
// If the first word is anything else, it means the user typed
// that word on the command line.   It is up to you to interpret
// such commands.
