gollark: My Nim code is binding to a C library, and I can't help but fear that it (my binding code, that is, the C library is fuzzed and whatever) is leaking memory horribly or invoking undefined behavior or something.
gollark: So, gibsonoidal form, I decided I would go use the cmark bindings, as it turns out cmark is cool™ and does have an API for modifying the AST.
gollark: No.
