This assumes that a Converter class raising non-CommandError
is a programmer error. Makes this type of error easier to
disambiguate from a generic BadArgument.
Change the behaviour of handling iterable command_prefix types to not
silently ignore falsy prefixes and unify behaviour for all iterable
types. Add special handling of a possible TypeError in both get_prefix
and get_context for when the prefix is a different type from what is
expected.
This is powered by a dict-like class for the people who want to opt-in
to the performance downgrade for usability for majority English
speaking users.
Since it is slower than the regular dict due to the excessive calls to
str.lower along with the possibilities of gotchas for other languages
outside of English, this is kept as False for the default case.
In some cases, the Discord provided role_mentions and mentions array
would be empty, such as wrapping a mention with a backtick or
other frivolous characters. Since we want to completely nullify
mentions, we should not rely on the Discord provided arrays and instead
use and resolve the IDs from the content itself.
The old code for some reason assumed that the length of the command
would be 1. This is because when I tested this I would use single
letter command names and it would "just work" when in reality it was
completely incorrect.
A reminder to thoroughly test instead of just fitting something to work
When unloading cogs, currently we do not remove submodules from
sys.modules, meaning they will not be reloaded. Removing here
makes new imports reload from file. Of course, any already imported
modules will still hold a reference to the old module, since they
will not re-import it, and will not be forcably unloaded.
Previously, Context.command was not guaranteed to be the actual command
being checked if it can run. This could be troublesome when
implementing help commands or when using the default help command.
This new change allows at least for the guarantee that Context.command
to be technically correct in Command.can_run.
There is a counterpart for this in cogs, called __global_check_once.
This allows for predicates that would filter a command globally that
do not necessarily require rechecking in the case of e.g. the help
command such as blocking users or blocking channels.
