gollark: Yes.
gollark: Also, there's probably a way to directly write the buffer to a file instead of mucking with doing it in chunks?
gollark: Also, printing out information for every character *will* slow it down a lot, but I assume that's going to be removed in the non-debug version.
gollark: I can't see any horrible problems? Although hardcoding the array size is a bit problematic. Also, you could do`!subchild.attr("cp").is_none()`/`subchild.attr("cp").unwrap()` more idiomatically as `if let Some(cp) = subchild.attr("cp")`.
gollark: I see.
