gollark: You know what, I'll ignore this ENTIRELY for now muahahahaha.
gollark: This is in a 130 line function which *kind of* explains what it's doing, but apiaristically.
gollark: It *seemed* like it was just inserting things, but it may also be moving everything after this into the children of the other thingy?
gollark: ```nim var emNode = newDoublyLinkedNode(emToken) for childNode in token.children.nodes: if childNode.value == opener.value.token: emToken.children.head = childNode.next if childNode.next != nil: childNode.next.prev = nil childNode.next = emNode emNode.prev = childNode if childNode.value == closer.value.token: emToken.children.tail = childNode.prev if childNode.prev != nil: childNode.prev.next = nil childNode.prev = emNode emNode.next = childNode```
gollark: This would really be easier if they had actually bothered to put comments in this. I've worked out that it is in fact *not* a `seq.insert` call precisely, but I don't know what it's meant to be doing.
