COMPARE_KEY	Passed into BINARY_INSERT to compare keys
COMPARE_VALUE	Passed into BINARY_INSERT to compare values
BINARY_INSERT_TG	Binary search sorted insert from TG INPUT: Object to be inserted LIST: List to insert object into TYPECONT: The typepath of the contents of the list COMPARE: The object to compare against, usualy the same as INPUT COMPARISON: The variable on the objects to compare COMPTYPE: How should the values be compared? Either COMPARE_KEY or COMPARE_VALUE.
LIST_VALUE_WRAP_LISTS	If value is a list, wrap it in a list so it can be used with list add/remove operations
UNTYPED_LIST_ADD	Add an untyped item to a list, taking care to handle list items by wrapping them in a list to remove the footgun
/proc/pickweight	Picks an element based on its weight. L - The input list
/proc/pick_multiple_unique	Picks multiple unique elements from the suplied list. If the given list has a length less than the amount given then it will return a list with an equal amount
LAZYINITLIST	Initialize the lazylist
UNSETEMPTY	If the provided list is empty, set it to null
ASSOC_UNSETEMPTY	If the provided key -> list is empty, remove it from the list
LAZYLISTDUPLICATE	Like LAZYCOPY - copies an input list if the list has entries, If it doesn't the assigned list is nulled
LAZYREMOVE	Remove an item from the list, set the list to null if empty
LAZYADD	Add an item to the list, if the list is null it will initialize it
LAZYOR	Add an item to the list if not already present, if the list is null it will initialize it
LAZYDISTINCTADD	Adds I to L, initializing L if necessary, if I is not already in L
LAZYACCESS	returns L[I] if L exists and I is a valid index of L, runtimes if L is not a list
LAZYLEN	Returns the length of L
LAZYNULL	Sets a list to null
LAZYCLEARLIST	Removes all elements from the list
LAZYCOPY	Use LAZYLISTDUPLICATE instead if you want it to null with no entries
LAZYSET	Sets the item K to the value V, if the list is null it will initialize it
LAZYSETLEN	Sets the length of a lazylist
LAZYADDASSOC	Adds to the item K the value V, if the list is null it will initialize it
LAZYADDASSOCLIST	This is used to add onto lazy assoc list when the value you're adding is a /list/. This one has extra safety over lazyaddassoc because the value could be null (and thus cant be used to += objects)
LAZYREMOVEASSOC	Removes the value V from the item K, if the item K is empty will remove it from the list, if the list is empty will set the list to null
LAZYACCESSASSOC	Accesses an associative list, returns null if nothing is found
QDEL_LAZYLIST	Qdel every item in the list before setting the list to null
LAZYIN	If the lazy list is currently initialized find item I in list L
ISINDEXSAFE	Returns whether a numerical index is within a given list's bounds. Faster than isnull(LAZYACCESS(L, I)).
LAZYORASSOCLIST	Performs an insertion on the given lazy list with the given key and value. If the value already exists, a new one will not be made.
/proc/make_associative	A proc for turning a list into an associative list.
/proc/compare_list	compare two lists, returns TRUE if they are the same
/proc/avoid_assoc_duplicate_keys	takes an input_key, as text, and the list of keys already used, outputting a replacement key in the format of "[input_key] ([number_of_duplicates])" if it finds a duplicate use this for lists of things that might have the same name, like mobs or objects, that you plan on giving to a player as input
/proc/assoc_to_keys	Turns an associative list into a flat list of keys

#define
ASSOC_UNSETEMPTY
(L, K)

If the provided key -> list is empty, remove it from the list

#define
BINARY_INSERT_TG
(INPUT, LIST, TYPECONT, COMPARE, COMPARISON, COMPTYPE)

Binary search sorted insert from TG INPUT: Object to be inserted LIST: List to insert object into TYPECONT: The typepath of the contents of the list COMPARE: The object to compare against, usualy the same as INPUT COMPARISON: The variable on the objects to compare COMPTYPE: How should the values be compared? Either COMPARE_KEY or COMPARE_VALUE.

#define
COMPARE_KEY

Passed into BINARY_INSERT to compare keys

#define
COMPARE_VALUE

Passed into BINARY_INSERT to compare values

#define
ISINDEXSAFE
(L, I)

Returns whether a numerical index is within a given list's bounds. Faster than isnull(LAZYACCESS(L, I)).

#define
LAZYACCESS
(L, I)

returns L[I] if L exists and I is a valid index of L, runtimes if L is not a list

#define
LAZYACCESSASSOC
(L, I, K)

Accesses an associative list, returns null if nothing is found

#define
LAZYADD
(L, I)

Add an item to the list, if the list is null it will initialize it

#define
LAZYADDASSOC
(L, K, V)

Adds to the item K the value V, if the list is null it will initialize it

#define
LAZYADDASSOCLIST
(L, K, V)

This is used to add onto lazy assoc list when the value you're adding is a /list/. This one has extra safety over lazyaddassoc because the value could be null (and thus cant be used to += objects)

#define
LAZYCLEARLIST
(L)

Removes all elements from the list

#define
LAZYCOPY
(L)

Use LAZYLISTDUPLICATE instead if you want it to null with no entries

#define
LAZYDISTINCTADD
(L, I)

Adds I to L, initializing L if necessary, if I is not already in L

#define
LAZYIN
(L, I)

If the lazy list is currently initialized find item I in list L

#define
LAZYINITLIST
(L)

Initialize the lazylist
