Discussion on: I've never become overly convinced that switch statements are that much cleaner than `if else if else if else if else`

Haha no offense at all. The rule handler is overkill in A LOT if not most scenarios. That said, it's for sure one of the patterns you would use instead of a switch so I included it. For the trivial example I have though, yeah way overkill. For the slackbot I made a while back I used it and it worked well. github.com/samuraiseoul/starbot/bl... and github.com/samuraiseoul/starbot/bl... are an example where it works well.
