Well, RIP my PL class, ChatGPT and Claude can now produce plait code that compiles.

I hate all of my options:
* Make the exams worth more (probably what I'll have to do)
* Record every editor keystroke to make sure they didn't just cut and paste (terrible for privacy and also probably infeasible)
* Rewrite my language every year in an arms race of ever-more-obscure syntax
