Feature chat_logs()

I was thinking it would be cool to be able to load up old chat logs similar to session_logs().

Perhaps instead of "last X days" you could load a specific file from disc (restricted to logs from the current character?) or maybe just give a date and instead of integer indexing maybe use string indexing in case there are multiple chat rooms used/private messages sent on said date.

Just an idea, up for exploration and debate.
 
For what purpose would you use this? Suggesting a practical implementation makes a huge difference in the likelihood that a dev will want to bother.
 
I do run a chat bot and yes, that's probably the only real use for it.
I suppose a more broad request (and probably less work on you guys) would be for a way to load files that aren't stored as maps. Like visit_url() but on the local filesystem. Unless there's already a way to do this, in which case that'd be awesome.

Attempt (using visit_url with file:///path/to/local/file) yielded the following:

So... I don't think it's possible yet? And it'd probably be a security vulnerability (I don't know that I'd trust user scripts nearly as much if this were possible).
 
Maybe just a file_to_string() that follows the same rules as file_to_map(), then the script writer can parse that text manually? Regardless, that should be fixed to print an error message saying we don't allow local file access through visit_url() instead of throwing an exception.
