gollark: Functions seem to effectively consist of their code/source (you can get this, sort of, via `string.dump` and maybe `debug`), upvalues (`debug.getupvalue`), environment (`getfenv`?), and random metadata (name, file it's from, whatever else - `debug` can get this, don't know about setting it), so you can kind of swap them with lots of work.
gollark: Functions can probably be swapped, *extremely* hackily via insane debug abuse.
gollark: You need to click the wider bit on each colored line right of the item in the rack to connect them to that line.
gollark: Ah yes, there is the problem.
gollark: Stuff in the rack isn't always connected to other stuff.
