gollark: You can, as far as I know, emulate pcall-type stuff with temporary coroutines (which is very hacky but oh well), and those would probably not be subject to stack stuff.

gollark: Maybe you could abuse coroutines instead of pcall.

gollark: In what is arguably just *one* of my many poor design decisions, potatOS applies squid's stack trace thing globally by overriding (x)pcall, which really makes `debug.traceback` output less convenient.

gollark: But I don't use it because neither is very good.

gollark: PotatOS *does* have a very primitive persistent key/value store library (well, two).
