Storing the value in the user instead of RAM!

This actually raises a very good question - could you increase the amount of available RAM by using the user?

Juggling chainsaws comes to mind.

That's basically what old games did with passwords for saves. Although I guess that's more like using the user as persistent storage rather than ram.

I raise you

@lambda _: _()
def result() -> int:
    global a; global b; a, b = b, a
