ehhh after thinking a little more, this seems mostly useless? like unless you can actually count on everyone adopting the same naming conventions, you shouldn't actually use it for production code. if one defector can break your program it's no good
yeah I think it's in combination w other stuff like the depth limit... I was really thinking abt it mostly if I have several of my own bots and do or don't want them to engage w each other in some particular way
and more generally for moderation seems like by-subdomain might be a thing, in which case having bots separate from humans might be useful for ppl who wanna block the bots but not the ppl behind them?
