Rerolls?

[Xaelias]

Hey,

I was wondering if there was an option I didn't find, or maybe a plan to add reroll supports?
Something like:
/roll 4d6r<2
Which would roll 4d6 and reroll all 1s and 2s.
And maybe something like /roll 4d6r1r4 to reroll 1s and 4s ?

Thanks!

(I'm actually willing to add the functionality, I'm just not sure how to run the program/test it outside of slack. My Go experience is basically none :-D )

Not sure either I would be willing to help.

I'm not sure there's a good way to allow chaining (i.e. r1r4) as the parsing is currently done via regex, but I'd be happy to weigh in further if you all want to take a swing - my guess is that it would resemble keep in demarkation of which rolls are discarded?

The roll tests should be pretty simple, although I'd image the formatting would also need to change - feel free to give it a go though!

If you add some contribution guidelines, I might be willing to give implementation a shot.

Not promising anything as I know jack about Go, but I'm looking at this now for what it's worth.

Seems to me the most common use case is for rolling stats and then rerolling any 1s (I've seen folks reroll 2s as well). I'm unsure if we need to parse a set number (1), an above/below number (<2), or both; since different folks will have different requirements. Once I get further in and know it works I'll send a pull request.
