Quick fix for a problem with edited messages (no `msg.message`; but messages include a `msg.edited_message`)

[convexset]

There is a problem with _poll when messages are edited before being read.

msg.message is missing when a message is edited, msg.edited_message is available

I've provided a very quick fix. But you might want to do something more comprehensive.

Bot.prototype._poll = function () {
  var self = this;

/* Some Code */
              if (self.parseCommand) {
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// QUICK FIX HERE
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// a quick fix because msg.message is missing when a message is edited, ...
// but msg.edited_message is available
// put this where you think it makes sense
if (!!msg.edited_message) {
  msg.message = msg.edited_message;
  console.log("Monkey Patch for Edited Messages:", msg);
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
                if (msg.message.text && msg.message.text.charAt(0) === '/') {
                  /**
/* Some Code */

Here's what a msg.edited_message looks like:

   { message_id: 869,
     from: { id: 179442020, first_name: 'xxx', username: 'xxxx' },
     chat: 
      { id: 0000,
        first_name: 'xxx',
        username: 'xxxx',
        type: 'private' },
     date: 1463978414,
     edit_date: 1463978429,
     text: 'f' },

Is anyone planning to do a PR for this? I'm willing to jump in if no one is working on one.

Not me. I don't know enough about the package and API. I've checked that forwarding messages to it works, receiving audio is also fine. The only strange exception I've noted is edited messages.

Waiting for a new version to replace my monkey patched one.
