gollark: Hmm, probably a Cobalt thing. As far as I know native Lua has a limit of a few thousand.
gollark: ```lualocal function copy(tabl) local new = {} for k, v in pairs(tabl) do new[k] = v end return newend```
gollark: I just define a `copy` function somewhere.
gollark: I wouldn't really want to do that in general, since there is IIRC a limit to how many things you can do that with because of the limit on return values.
gollark: 4D display when?
