gollark: No, it's `bees`.
gollark: For example,```rustlet bees = 4;let apio = 7let apioBees = "hi"return (+)(***)```will use `bees` and `apio` as arguments for `+`, as those satisfy its signature.
gollark: You can also use the `***` operator to keep pulling in local variables from increasingly wide scopes as arguments until a function can be called.
