gollark: `pcall` can execute strings? I thought that was only `load`/`loadstring`, neat.
gollark: Storing everything as strings also makes serialization/deserialization for files easy!
gollark: Be sure to use memorable variable names reflecting the types the strings might represent, like `table` or just `string`, maybe even `vector`.
gollark: Always make sure that your variables are global and that everything is represented as strings.
