gollark: Hmm, this actually does shave off about 25% of the runtime.

gollark: I could use cmark instead, but then extending it would be so many 🐝.

gollark: Should I just file an issue saying "horrible performance issues please help"? That seems mean.

gollark: Also, performance is identical (I tested on my test file, which doesn't use emphasis, which is the bit I ended up breaking).

gollark: So it compiles now, with the linked lists mostly gone, but it will not actually work due to mysterious fatal errors.
