Would you two be open to me taking a stab at this one?

iirc this is hard / not really feasible since every message is dispatched independently and asynchronously

I was poking around and the add_alias() function caught my muse. Would appear if an alias !bang and !! were made of the most recent command successfully found that you'd have part of the desired outcome. I may have missed some I/O but it looked to me like commands are only held in memory so this call felt very inexpensive.

How to handle keeping message permissions from being skipped, that all commands are stripped of extra bangs, and the command pattern doesn't presently match !! were where I stopped.

(either way, neat implementation and I learned a few things digging through it which was my primary goal!)

the aliasing system is for command names and probably wouldn't work or help for command values -- it's also meant to be ~immutable after process startup
