getChannels|Users|Groups return outdated data

[Starfox64]

getChannels, getUsers and getGroups always return cached data meaning that said data will, at some point, become outdated.

Solutions:

• Make slackbots listen to update events and keep the cached data updated (optional)
• Prevent the getChannels|Users|Groups methods from using cached data and instead call the Slack API (or add an argument to force a new API call)

Is this actually going to get fixed? It's become a problem for me.

Bump.

+1 - although there is a workaround by calling login() method it would be great to have that automated.

Proposed quick solution - when user/channel etc. is not found try to reload cache and perform search again? Would it work?
