Thanks for writing up the embed commands Veeru! I would change the structure of this cog a bit:
- Turn all the async functions inside
embedinto methods of theEmbedsclass - Move
check,is_skipandis_doneoutsideembedas well so they're accessible to the above
cogs/embeds.py

embedraw should take in a channel ID (where to send the embed) as its first argument.

Do we always supply a channel_id in embedraw? Even if we want to send the embed in the same channel?

Disregard. Found an example and it seems that we do indeed send the channel_id: https://discord.com/channels/230296179991248896/349491266838462465/1049269313401524275

This implementation works, but it is not how embedraw works within IB.ai - the JSON used there takes the fields values as a list of 2-lists (a title string and a value string). However, I'm not sure if we want to preserve backwards compatibility or change this - maybe wait for feedback from Ray or Nathaneal.

I think maintaining backwards compatibility would be good. Since I recall a lot of the embed_raw commands are pre-written and it'd be annoying to have to edit all of those.

Can you provide me a sample snippet of the JSON that we are currently using for testing?

Also, do we handle inline fields in the old method, and if not, should we be adding that functionality? It is a matter of parsing the JSON and checking whether the array has 2 elements or 3.
