Flags and flag groups

Helpmebot now uses a flag-based access control system, and as such the commands that can be accessed are determined by which flags you have available to you.

Bear in mind that these flags can be granted to a hostmask, NickServ account, channel mode, or channel, and as such your "voiced" or "opped" status, or even the channel you are in might change the flags you have available to you at that time.

The currently defined flags are listed below.
