gollark: Maybe? The shell API is handled oddly.
gollark: If you want it to work like shell.run would, and you do for compatibility, that may be harder. But probably not massively so actually.
gollark: *Those* would error properly, and most programs only use printError for nonfatal errors.
gollark: They don't do anything you couldn't do yourself with loadfile and lots of work to pretend to be like the shell API and do its weird environment hackery.
