gollark: Does anyone know how to give SQL queries array parameters in `tiny_sqlite`? SQLite has a CARRAY thing but it's not builtin and `tiny_sqlite` doesn't mention any support for it. Are there other libraries which can do this? I think I can use the JSON extension for this but ew.
gollark: Doing it yourself would probably be vulnerable to horrible side channel attacks.
gollark: `asyncCheck thing1()`, `asyncCheck thing2()`, `runForever`?
gollark: Is there something like strutils.replace but which takes a set of chars as an argument? I want to replace unsafe-in-filename characters in a string with underscores.
gollark: The manual seems to be missing some things though, like slices.
