This is a breaking change. The original purpose of no_pm has been
mainly a legacy aspect. They came from a time before checks were a
generalised concept and were never removed. A check is the proper way
to do its behaviour.
There is potential that when recreating the Emoji list in the
GUILD_EMOJIS_UPDATE event would just fetch from cache and the element
in cache having an out of date Guild reference. This Guild reference
will be kept alive for longer than it should be.
By always overwriting the Emoji reference, this problem goes away.
The library had a memory leak in the case using the global emoji cache.
When the bot would leave the guild, the Emoji would maintain a strong
reference to the Guild keeping them alive along with the entire state
associated with it.
This should prevent asyncio.CancelledError from being propagated more
and suppressed "Task was destroyed but was pending!" warnings when
doing graceful closes outside of using a KeyboardInterrupt.
To make clean up a bit more robust, also add signal handlers
for POSIX systems.
Hopefully this means when the bot has some lingering object for
whatever reason, the memory doesn't double due to it having a strong
reference to an outdated connection state.
Apparently, checking if something is not None and then calling it is
faster than having an identity function that will just return the
original value untransformed, such as a lambda or doing a str(str) call
This is a breaking change. Move these two to TextChannel since the
other things that implement Messageable cannot reliably do bulk delete
actions in their respective channels.
