gollark: Maybe totally rework the whole setup, actually. Hmm. Maybe something like this?```luathing:attribute("text_color", colors.green):attribute("background_color")```
gollark: I mean, the idea of `background_color = Ribbon.DEFAULT` or something would work, but be weird.
gollark: I mean, look, it syntax-highlights oddly.
gollark: ```luathing:attribute { text_color = colors.green, "background_color", other_option = "whatever"}```would work, but looks weird and inconsistent.
gollark: It *should* work with the weird colony functions.
