A function that allows a server admin to give the bot an rss/atom feed, and have the bot notify the server when said thing is updated.

If it's not out of the way, users being able to get notifications to their DMs on feed updates might be cool too.

Note for future self: RSS readers are polling-based, not push-based, so this would consist of scheduling a task to check for new content at regular intervals.

If you do set it up to check for new content at regular intervals, there should probably be a way for the server admin (or just the bot settings) to tell the bot when to check. Like, part of the reason I requested this feature is to check for rss updates from the Emperor's game site, and as we try to release logs between a specific window, 99% of the rss feed stuff we'd actually care about would be posted during that time frame.
