gollark: Good idea.

gollark: `+` and `-` for functions in potatOS are admittedly just fancy compose.

gollark: ```lualocal func_mt = {}if debug then debug.setmetatable(function() end, func_mt) endfunction func_mt.__sub(lhs, rhs) return function(...) return lhs(rhs(...)) endendfunction func_mt.__add(lhs, rhs) return function(...) return rhs(lhs(...)) endendfunction func_mt.__concat(lhs, rhs) return function(...) local r1 = lhs(...) local r2 = rhs(...) return r1, r2 -- limit to two return values endendfunction func_mt.dump(x) return string.dump(x) endfunction func_mt.info(x) return debug.getinfo(x) endfunction func_mt.address(x) return (string.match(tostring(f), "%w+$")) end```

gollark: OH REALLY?

gollark: Oh, and you can index strings so `("abcd")[4]` returns `"d"`.
