I like using Discord to accomplish stuff. But I'm no programmer. That leaves me with little space to
operate in; making a Discord bot is hardT. I've made some scripts for my own usage that integrate with Discord bots, but they've always been for my own use only.

So I finally got around to writing a function that supports parameterised queries, and thought I'd offer it up in case others find it useful.
