feature request: pass function names into poise::Command struct from generated macro

[tazz4843]

I'm working on translating all commands in my bot. Given I have several subcommands with the same name, I want a unique way to refer to each one. I personally have guaranteed that each function is named uniquely, and this would be the perfect unique string to use in translations instead of poise::Command::name which doesn't appear to be globally unique across all commands. Let me know if you'd like more of an explanation. Thanks!

So, Command would gain a new field pub source_code_name: String (name up for debate) which is populated with the name of the Rust function which was annotated with #[poise::command]?

[tazz4843]

Yeah pretty much

[kangalio]

Sure that can be added

On a side note, have you considered using Command.qualified_name as a globally unique identifier for commands?

[tazz4843]

That's not populated (at least not uniquely) until after the framework starts isn't it? I do translations before the framework touches anything.

[kangalio]

That is true. You can manually call set_qualified_names, though

Still, source_code_name makes sense to add

[kangalio]

There's also Command.identifying_name (A string to identify this particular command within a list of commands.). What do you think of that @tazz4843 ?

[tazz4843]

I... completely missed that. That works fine for me, but if you want to continue implementing this you can leave this issue open.
