This module provides a number of basic mathematical operations.
]]

local p = {} -- Holds functions to be returned from #invoke, and functions to make available to other Lua modules.
local wrap = {} -- Holds wrapper functions that process arguments from #invoke. These act as intemediary between functions meant for #invoke and functions meant for Lua.
--[[
Helper functions used to avoid redundant code.
]]
local function err(msg)
-- Generates wikitext error messages.

-- Makes an array of arguments from a list of arguments that might include nils.
