gollark: > Thanks for that gollark :/.You're welcome! It would be useful if there was an API for this! Perhaps I could simplify some of my stuff and make a PR!
gollark: Parallel isn't great because you can't add an extra task after it starts.
gollark: They CLAIM to be running the latest version from the git repo.
gollark: I'm getting this as a potatOS-related bug report from a user, so they *may* just be on the wrong version.
gollark: In CC, it appears to use the second return value as the error, CraftOS-PC doesn't.
