gollark: Honestly, the code is kind of a mess right now.

gollark: ... how?

gollark: ```rust// Evaluate an arithmetic expressioncommand!(eval(_context, message, args) { let expr = args.multiple::<String>()?.join(" "); // yes, this is kind of undoing the work the command parser does... send_result(message, &calc::eval(&expr))?;});// Evaluate an arithmetic expression in polish notationcommand!(eval_polish(_context, message, args) { let expr = args.multiple::<String>()?.join(" "); send_result(message, &calc::eval_polish(&expr))?;});```ALL THE CODE for this feature.

gollark: No, since I was too lazy to do anything other than plug in an existing rust library.

gollark: ++exec```testtest2```
