support regex macros:
instead of having imageofanerror and what not, you can instead have a macro that is this:
image(.*)of(.*)an(.*)(error|exception)
and then maybe support macros without prefixes?

A configurable cooldown between macro invokes in the same channel

An example if cooldown is set to 5 seconds

user sends macro
2 seconds pass
user sends same macro in the same channel
bot doesn't respond but instead adds some kind of clock/alarm clock emote to the invoke

Could be something like
++addmacro name1|name2|name3 category macro result
and ++name1, ++name2 and ++name3 would all respond with macro result

I'm not sure how useful this would be since it's specifically for the JavaScript channel. I thought it'd be quite helpful to refer someone directly to the MDN documentation via a command such as +search js console.log and output the URL of the first result. This could potentially be replicated to other languages too if they have a search option setup within the documentation.

MDN already has a search option and all you need to do is pass in the search query - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=${query}. I'm not sure how useful it'd actually be - but I'm just putting the idea out there.

Have a nice day 😀

Are we open to implementing cowsay? Such that messages postfixed with | cowsay will be 'piped' to cowsay just like if used traditionally?

The category names in the listallmacros macro are just Global Macro unlike the listmacros macro which has proper category names
