mrw @Exirel adds something new to the 8.0.0 milestone: https://github.com/sopel-irc/sopel/assets/164140/39a0d31f-d226-4cc6-b6e4-6bb8aa22d583 I'm not super attached to the current site, other than it being nostalgic (the basic structure is the same as...

Unlike a relative path, an absolute path pointing to a symlink is still usable by downstream plugin code. If I `open()` a symlink I can read (or write) the real...

Might be reasonable for "this is a new nick I haven't seen before" to be handled somewhere in core before plugins ever have a chance to trigger, maybe a `@plugin.priority('high')`...
