gollark: If you want callback-driven, then I would do something like this:```lua-- table of event listeners for each programlocal listeners = {}-- make this available to each programlocal function addEventListener(event, handler) listeners[event] = handlerend-- run this when the close button is calledlocal function thingy() if listeners.close then listeners.close() actuallyCloseProgram() else actuallyCloseProgram() endend```
gollark: Ah yes, that may be a problem.
gollark: What?
gollark: Alternatively you can just... queue a `close` event for them, or something.
gollark: Give them an `addEventListener` function or something.
