Have a way to translate an @username to an user id #1

Closed fgaz closed 6 years ago

Commands will mostly be used as /command @user, and not /command <obscure numeric user id>, so we'll have to translate the @-username (if it begins with a @ in the first place) to an user id

No official way for doing this. This is a resolutor in nodejs but... it takes a long time https://github.com/yagop/node-telegram-bot-api/issues/383
