Change !send reply [msgid] to !reply [msgid]

[jcserv]

What problem are you facing?

!send reply [msgid] feels unnecessarily long

What can we do to fix that problem?

Change it to be !reply [msgid]
Only downside I can think of right now is any possible code duplication between the cases, but it'd also let us remove some command parsing logic.

Another issue: users may be used to the syntax of !send reply

Few options:

1. Make a full change and make an announcement
2. Implement the shortened command while keeping the old one, and remove it in the next release so that users are acclimated
3. If they use "send reply", send a help message telling them it has changed

Good idea! I'm in favour of making an announcement of the change, as well as sending them a help message telling them it's changed if they use the old syntax.

Just thought of this: using !reply msg won't work if we want to send to deep-talks, since the word "reply" replaces "send-deep". The same problem will exist for other channels once we implement scalability.

!reply [msgid] can work even with scalable channels, as follows:

backend:

1. determine the channel based on the message being replied to
2. check that the submitter has read/write permissions for that channel
3. send the message to that channel
