+## Additionally adds to the API
+`mat4:translate_local(out, a, t)`
+does the same thing as `translate` only its far right column instead of bottom row (as that's what's needed for most local coordinate systems)
+also: worth noting that "a" in both `translate` and `translate_local` can be an empty table, and it'll generate an identity matrix. Which is really
+redundant code wise, not a fan of that. Probably will fix that at some point.
