(say %message) compiles to:

            return LuaCode(tree.source, "print(", \(%message as lua expr), ");");
        else
            return LuaCode(tree.source, "print(tostring(", \(%message as lua expr), "));");

(ask %prompt) compiles to:
    lua> "\
        ..if \%prompt.type == "Text" then
            return LuaCode(tree.source, "(io.write(", \(%prompt as lua expr), ") and io.read())");

            %prompt as lua expr
        .., ")) and io.read())");
