(say $message) compiles to:
    lua> ("
        if \$message.type == "Text" then
            return LuaCode("say(", \($message as lua expr), ");");
        else
            return LuaCode("say(tostring(", \($message as lua expr), "));");
        end
    ")

(say $message inline) compiles to:
    lua> ("
        if \$message.type == "Text" then
            return LuaCode("io.write(", \($message as lua expr), ")");
        else
            return LuaCode("io.write(tostring(", \($message as lua expr), "))");
        end
    ")

externally (ask $prompt) means:
    $io.write $prompt
    return ($io.read())
