Etymology
The name reflects the area of distribution, the Caribbean islands.
gollark: What do you mean "declare the type"?
gollark: It also contains ctypes and disables the GC, which I have previously done.
gollark: I mean, it has the word "APIARY" in it. How could you fake that?
gollark: But really, I *did* do #9.
gollark: I don't know why you thought people would think it was me, apart from me repeatedly saying it was me.
