 The `hilbish.runner` interface is an alternative to using `hilbish.runnerMode`
 and also provides the sh and Lua runner functions that Hilbish itself uses.
-A runner function is expected to return 2 values: the exit code, and an error.
+A runner function is expected to return 3 values: the input, exit code, and an error.
+The input return is there incase you need to prompt for more input.
+If you don't, just return the input passed to the runner function.
 The exit code has to be a number, it will be 0 otherwise and the error can be
 `nil` to indicate no error.
