gollark: "OS"es are one of CC's most popular projects, despite most of the implementations of them delivering near-zero value.
gollark: You don't understand what I mean.
gollark: Please do not make an "OS" again. Please wait while I pull up the explanation.
gollark: Hmm, so there *is* a `readAll` after all? Fascinating. I guess I have mostly unused backward compatibility?
gollark: I'm not entirely sure, apart from websockets and `readAll` on `rb` mode files.
