Notes

gollark: Also, XTMF can do runtime update, you just need to allocate, say, 4KB at the start of the tape, and write metadata to that. The offsets might be fiddly, though.
gollark: You should probably not do that.
gollark: <@458991393160036354> No idea if there's an actual *limit*, but probably try to avoid using more than a few megabytes.
