gollark: THIS IS NOT A NECESSARY PART OF CORE MACRON TOOLING

gollark: It's very exciting.

gollark: I have a solution to this in the works.

gollark: macronfmt downloads a config file from osmarks.net containing the current format options, actually.

gollark: The obviously better approach is to store all Macron code on disk as efficiently serialized ASTs, and offer a FUSE filesystem or editor plugin to render it to text.
