//
// 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 'get_command'.
//    5. If the command is empty, do nothing.
//    6. If the command is nonempty, execute it.
//
// The LuaConsole expects you to type one of three things:
//
//   * Valid Lua Code.
//   * Valid Lua Code preceded by '=' as shorthand for 'return'
//   * A slash-command.
//
// The 'get_command' returned by the luaconsole can be one of
// the following:
//
//    empty vector   - still collecting input: do nothing.
//    lua <expr>     - found a lua command: execute it as lua.
//    syntax <words> - detected a syntax error: print the error.
//    word word ...  - read a slash-command: execute the command.
