gollark: Seems reasonable, I could try that.
gollark: How do you do that?
gollark: Maybe. I think that would be pretty much like the callback approach but with a slightly different interface, though.
gollark: Oh dear. I might just have to go for the callback thing then, where I have a function which does the initialization, `defer`s the appropriate `free`s, and then calls the main logic.
gollark: The Nim GC presumably doesn't know what references are present within cmark's structures.
