gollark: Off you go, explain it then.
gollark: Huh, I thought you were going to complain about me "explaining closure terribly" or something.
gollark: It's called closure. Stuff defined in something gets access to locals from that thing.
gollark: Just do```luafunction fs.open(file, mode) local f = {} -- Store fs files in here local handle = io.open(file, mode) function f.readAll() return handle:read("*a") end function f.close() handle:close() end function f.write(data) handle:write(data) end return fend```unless there's some other thing you need it for.
gollark: Wait, why do you need a global `openFiles` thing for that?
