add some features to each driver if they support.

Hi, what's your opinion about adding some features to each driver and a feature checking ability to the package? for example, some SMS gateways can send bulk messages and some of them doesn't support bulk messages. I can create the below syntax:

Sms::via('gateway')->whenSupportsBulkMessage(
       function($sms){
            $sms->sendBulk("this message")->to(['Number 1', 'Number 2'])->dispatch();
       }
)->whenDoesntSupportBulkMessage(function($sms) {
       function($sms){
            $sms->send("this message")->to(['Number 1', 'Number 2'])->dispatch();
       }
})

or something like the below syntax:

// check if given gateway supports bulk sending messages.
if (Sms::via('gateway')->supportsBulkMessage()) { 
       //
}

if I add this feature, would you merge it ?

@khanzadimahdi Do we need different ways for each of them?

Can we not just bulk send them when recipient count is more than one?

bulk send is an example! as you know sms gateways offer more features. for example time-base messages or one-time read (flash) messages! or even sound messages! receiving messages!

I use Kavehnegar gateway , and it offers sms templates! sms template is a prepared message (like prepared sql query) and data can be passed only to it to be sent to recipients.

I want to add some interfaces for these features and also an ability to check if a feature exists in selected gateway or not.

would you merge it if i add these functionalities? hmm, or i would fork and develop and improved version of this package in my repositories if you don't like these features!

i close this issue and develop suggested features in another package because of your late answering.
