gollark: Why is that a macro and not a template?

gollark: Anyway, running minoteaur ""at scale"" has shown me that people actually do want "index/recent changes/general purpose discovery thing", so I need to work out how to do that decently, and also the case-insensitivity thing works poorly in some situations and people want aliases/redirects.
gollark: Fascinating.
gollark: It would be unethical (due to endianness apioforms) to just *cast* it.
