gollark: Fine...
gollark: Wait, string.dump could work, I guess.
gollark: I originally tried `load` with an env table for the sandbox, but that failed horribly for some reason. Basically, while functions I explicitly redefined were fine, anything depending on them kept the old values somehow.
gollark: That kind of makes sense. Is there a way around that other than pcalling it?
gollark: Well, it's better than potatOS's current sandbox... probably.
