<MorbusIff> i like the idea of something like this:
<MorbusIff> Druplicon: madlib: give %user %object
<MorbusIff> and then it would automatic handle things like
<MorbusIff> bot: give webchick thingy
<RobLoach> Kind of like placeholders for factoids.
<MorbusIff> that would require counting args, matching to nearest, etc.
<MorbusIff> i can imagine it getting pretty complex.
<MorbusIff> and i have no idea what you'd call it.
<MorbusIff> can't be madlib. too kitschy and probably copywrighted/cease and desist
<MorbusIff> there are a bunch of differnet ways it could be implemented.
<MorbusIff> it might be just fine inside factoids, but the problem with factoids is they require an ending ! or ?
<MorbusIff> which isn't ideal for most situations in which this would apply

the problem with this is that it could take the commands namespace. Before any such could be implemented I think it would be good if we had a hook_command sort of thing in each module that declares what commands it implements, so in case collision the bot could warn.
