Allow to trigger multiple factoids

[gkatsev]

Sometimes it you want to send several factoids to a person. Perhaps a !multi command should be available which would take a comma separated list of factoid names and then print them out.

!multi eloquent, learn-js, books @ foo

foo: eloquent...
foo: learn-js...
foo: books...

My proposal is the following syntax:

<trigger character> <comma separated list of factoids> ["@" <comma separated list of users>]? [">" <comma separated list of users>]

This would require factoids to not contain , characters, but it is a simple and intuitive interface. @ nicks are public in the channel and > are sent as private messages.

That seems pretty complex for a really rare edge case. Does this really happen often enough that N factoids can't be sent as N separate lines?

Nope. This isn't really necessary.
