gollark: What would work?
gollark: Ones where you can't directly access the properties. There is probably a fancier term.
gollark: What you could do is just give the lua side opaque objects with methods like CC:TwEAked does for, say, websockets.
gollark: Also, newindex/index work specifically on keys which do not yet exist.
gollark: Why do you need this exactly?
