gollark: Yes, my sandbox also does that.
gollark: In yours, somehow, `load("return fs.list '/'")()` returns the sandboxed fs.list result...
gollark: `load("return _HOST")()` returns the `_HOST` from outside the sandbox in mine. Replace `return _HOST` with `doEvilOutOfSandboxStuff()` and it's a problem.
gollark: I have no idea how, but <@!111572502722920448>'s old `sBox` thing seems to not experience the `load` issue despite not overriding it anywhere.
