     could simple check that one of the comments in the comment tree belongs to
     that user, and then award them the point.

+## Multiple behaviors
+
+Implement the concept of actions, with a mapping between trigger keywords/patterns and actions. This will allow for multiple behaviors (eg mark as solved for one behavior, and just show points when summoned for another).
+
+Maybe allow chains of actions. For example:
+1. OP comments "!solved"
+2. Bot receives comment
+3. Action 1: Determine whether is "!solved" comment
+4. Action 2: Determine solver
+5. Action 3: Add points
+6. Action 4: Reply
+
+## Making the bot easier to configure
+
+Allow bot user to just specify a list of strings to recognize to trigger the bot's response. Allow user to specify whether case-sensitive. Ways to do this, with varying performance:
+* Just search each text for each keyword;
+* Use `re.compile()` for each keyword before searching (*may* be faster?); or
+* Build a binary search tree for all keywords for each action
