Change configuration through chat about longsphinx HOT 4 OPEN

Alternately, a web portal could be built instead.

Slash commands - and all the bonuses that come with, like autocomplete - this may be actually plausible to do in chat.

• /config upload: uploads a yaml or json file to be this server's config; may also be able to merge new files with existing config.
• /config print: prints the current server config (including defaults? or that could be an optional flag) as yaml
• /config add <autocomplete top-level options> <autocomplete their sub-options> <etc>: adds or overwrites a piece of configuration (overwrites probably require confirmation)
• /config help <all the same autocompletes as above>: gives a detailed description of what that key is for
• /config list would give a navigable list, kind of like my deletable lists but limited to one selection at a time, probably with a "deeper" and a "delete" button. Probably some internal logic to prevent certain things from being deleted, maybe even a full-on "put the help message for this thing into the 'are you sure' dialog" or something

If you do this, would it be the visible only to the person doing it set up, like you are already doing on some other commands? So that the admin/s aren't flashing the bot config all over the place?

Yeah, these would definitely all be ephemeral.
