gollark: Squid made a thing with metatables to make it so you could basically never run into those errors, so combine that with `error` overrides and your code will "never" break.
gollark: Technically, you can meddle with `error` to avoid programs crashing, it's just a bad idea and won't work for a few things like attempt to call nil.
gollark: Hmm, probably a Cobalt thing. As far as I know native Lua has a limit of a few thousand.
