gollark: (unless it does and I haven't noticed)
gollark: How come the standard library's `re` doesn't have anything like `findAll` but returning the *positions* of each match?
gollark: I ran my program through `valgrind` to check if it was horribly leaking memory (it doesn't seem to be). It says `Uninitialised value was created by a stack allocation at 0x33DD0A: renderToHtml__rZvmxUK6kmA9c1R4XvQQuAw`, should I be worried?
gollark: I was worried about performance but it seems basically fine.
gollark: Thanks leorize, I seem to have stuff basically working now.
