gollark: Oh, that'd be nice and useless.
gollark: But if you just set `_ENV.something` that should also work.
gollark: No, I mean, you can use the power of setmetatable to effectively add a key to a table without changing it.
gollark: You can muck with setmetatable and `__index` to do that, except it has the slight issue of making `pairs` not work as expected.
gollark: Alternatively, somehow put it in their environments.
