gollark: We need to make an *ultra-nil*.
gollark: Am I misunderstanding environments? Probably.
gollark: `env` here contains modified FS functions. The `init` thing there os.runs shell. Inside said shell, the FS functions are normal.```lualocal env = make_environment(root_directory, overlay, API_overrides)if type(init) == "table" and init.URL then init = fetch(init.URL) endlocal out, err = load(init or fetch "https://pastebin.com/raw/wKdMTPwQ", "@init.lua", "t", env)```
gollark: Also, it doesn't, as tables are hashtables or whatever.
gollark: So what?
