gollark: I'm not sure how it would be an issue. Antiviruses can't just block all code written in Nim.
gollark: (sorry if this looks bad on IRC)
gollark: The code in cmark looks like```nim Node* = object ## `struct cmark_node` NodePtr* = ptr Node ## `cmark_node*````
gollark: I think the importc-ing code defines them as `ptr`s of some sort.
gollark: So define an `object` wrapper for it and do that? I see.
