       "start()" while paused is handled special, and likely should stay that way.
       Sets the environment to that of LSL.lua, unless it's an event, before calling pcall.
       Says it runs the return, but also sends the return via Runnr.send(nil, result1), which is commented out.
+        What should happen is that instead of "return somevalue", it's just "someValue", but that could be "someValue + thingy".
+        So, execute it, return the result if returnWanted.
       Sooo, doesn't do anything with the result, unless returnWanted.
       Returns whatever the pcall returns, if returWanted, which we don't during the main loop.
   Some of the ll functions are defined as a wrapper around waitAndProcess, that first Runnr.send(nil, ...) the function call details.

 More generic event system?
+  Events are different from state changes.  The Nails web page mostly
+  talks about the state of objects, and changing them.  Events are for a
+  variety of things, not all of which can be represented by a state
+  change message.

   There are other events flying around.
     BASIC event         Just send it to LuaSL, it loops through all scripts, sending the event to them all if they have an event function in their current state.
     REGISTER event      Script has to register for these events with love.  Can have filter.  love loops through all regisitered "scripts", applies filters, sends events.

     Figure this all out as we go along.
