original battle zone - old built in input hacks issue

One of the items I miss from older era of MAME.
*wishful thinking here after seeing lua scripting at work*
Seeing how Carl was able to work with lua scripting to do specific features for chess where the layout file is utilized, I wonder if something can be done for users that prefer input hack options for specific games.
It would be great if a layout file that uses specific lua scripting method can temporarily over-ride the default inputs and allow the input hacks to temporarily take over input options while a specific game such as Battle Zone is being played. Once game play is concluded, the input hack controls could then be returned back to standard default inputs.
It would have to involve resetting MAME unless the input hack can be cleared from memory once game play is concluded and user selects a different game. I would like to believe it is possible, but maybe not possible.
