Runner Mode	Customize the interactive script/command runner.	doc	docs parent Features

Hilbish allows you to change how interactive text can be interpreted. This is mainly due to the fact that the default method Hilbish uses is that it runs Lua first and then falls back to shell script.

In some cases, someone might want to switch to just shell script to avoid it while interactive but still have a Lua config, or go full Lua to use Hilbish as a REPL. This also allows users to add alternative languages like Fennel as the interactive script runner.

Runner mode can also be used to handle specific kinds of input before evaluating like normal, which is how Link.hsh handles links.
