Again, I can only deduce this from the information on that page, and from my past experiences with IRC bots that do similar functions, is that the input is pretty much limited to variations in the way you ask for "What is X?" where X is a term, phrase, or whatever. Sure, this can be easily modified into the CB, but what I'm looking for is a way for people to be able to ask "What is X (some relation to) Y?", which, unless you fully exhaust in the factpacks every relation between X and Y, the bot might fail to answer. In addition, going back to my example of hash slices, there are times when the term may be unknown and to get at the answer, you'd have to know that term. I'm hoping that my system will be smart enough after time that if the user inputs 3 keywords normally associated with a obscure but important keyword, it will deduce that the obscure keyword is what was intended (eg, "merge" "array" and "hash" should lead to "slice").
