gollark: - Most functions return `Result`s.- Outofbounds access, for example, can `panic` for not really handleable situations.- You can use the `?` operator which sticks in an early return (returning the errory thing, obviously) if it's an error or otherwise just returns the value of the `Ok`.- You can also do valid-result-or-panic with the `unwrap`/`expect` method.- Panics are isolated to threads.
