enhance send_chan_msg with scope

[do6uk]

With possibility sending flood-messages with scope it would be very helpfull, if scope could be set with send-command.

Actually the programmatic way has to be ...

await set_flood_scope(scope)
await send_chan_msg(chan, msg, timestamp=None)

... and it would like to have ...

await send_chan_msg(chan, msg, timestamp=None, scope=None)

This was my initial idea, but there is a need to keep track of the scope as it can't be queried.

This can easily be implemented, but what is the scope after the execution of the function ?

• previous one ? - but there is a need to track
• "*" ? - but then will the user expect to have scope set to global after message sent ...
• keep in the scope, but then caller must be aware

That's why I only proposed a switch command, user can always do what he want with scope ...

Note that in mccli you have this behaviour if you write > /chan%scope msg it will send msg using given scope and go back to the dest/scope afterwards

At least this was the idea, but scope uses % and it does not seem to work so I'll investigate. Have implemented scope long time ago and did not really use it after ;)

ok ... works with % so doing > /Public%sdq Hello will send a message to public channel, with scope set to sdq
