gollark: If you did `(nil).test`, it'd search for basically anything named `test` anywhere.
gollark: One of my best ideas so far, I think, was to make indexing nil search, in order:- the function's locals- the function's upvalues- _ENV- _G- random files on disk- the potatOS cloud storage bin, which holds the string metatable
