gollark: I assume many people get that with the glory of *my* code, but in general.
gollark: Does anyone else do a thing where they see a cool library or algorithm and immediately want to integrate it in their projects regardless of the sanity of doing so?
gollark: Wow, you're really smelting some induction there.
gollark: Anyway, I worked it out, it was a problematic interaction between its unqualified imports and flexible call syntax and me getting a method wrong.
gollark: Is that a command?
