    function mathy.random( frame )
        first = tonumber(frame.args[1]) -- if it doesn't exist it's NaN, if not a number it's nil
        second = tonumber(frame.args[2])
    
        if first then -- if NaN or nil, will skip down to final return
            if first <= second then -- could match if both nil, but already checked that first is a number in last line
