fun.factoid

Exports functions for managing small snippets of keyword-based knowledge.

In addition to the exported functions, this module inserts a pre-hook which inspects all messages for keywords which match the stored factoids. Messages in the general format of a question which contain matching keywords trigger an automatic response from the bot with the stored factoid.
