You had a perfectly good opportunity to call a function madness and then descend into it, why didn't you?

Ah but what defines madness? For me it's innocuous functions that have surprising/wild behavior due to type inference disagreeing with me.
Most of the time I am the one wrong.

Changing the `function foo()` in the "Usage: descend" section to `function madness()` sounds like a pretty good/funny idea.
@descend madness()
would be a pretty good reference to the original text!Positive: it would also let people know at a glance that things like `rand() > 0.5 ? Int64 : Float64` are indeed madness.
Potential negative: some people may not consider it super DEI-friendly? As a neurodivergent person, I'd just find it to be just a lovely reference though.

What a vapid comment.
