gollark: This is even weirder. If I access `getfenv(-1)`'s return value in the function `pcall` is running at all, *it works as I expect*!
gollark: I have! I just didn't know `pcall` did this. It's so weird.
gollark: The hard part is making it *mostly* like an actual environment but denying access to some stuff.
gollark: There are still all kinds of side channel attacks, but eh.
gollark: Oh, if I just wanted to deny access to basically everything it would be *fairly* easy.
