gollark: Is that a "well okay but that sounds pointless" eh or a "what?" eh?
gollark: Well, if `debug` provides some information - start/end lines and file, I think - you can do it even *more* hackily and try to load load the relevant lines of the relevant file. Or you can patch `load` to do that somehow.
gollark: Oh, right, OC.
gollark: Functions seem to effectively consist of their code/source (you can get this, sort of, via `string.dump` and maybe `debug`), upvalues (`debug.getupvalue`), environment (`getfenv`?), and random metadata (name, file it's from, whatever else - `debug` can get this, don't know about setting it), so you can kind of swap them with lots of work.
gollark: Functions can probably be swapped, *extremely* hackily via insane debug abuse.
