Extension methods on IMessageChannel to get the first and last message of the channel as an IMessage

[Rekkonnect]

I believe that this functionality is relatively common among several bots, and having to do

var firstMessage = (await channel.GetMessagesAsync(0, Direction.After, 1).FlattenAsync()).FirstOrDefault();
var lastMessage = (await channel.GetMessagesAsync(1).FlattenAsync()).FirstOrDefault();

quickly becomes confusing to read.

Having a GetFirstMessageAsync() and GetLastMessageAsync() would greatly reduce the complexity of the above snippet.

I think it's not really that common (especially the former method) and you can always make an extension method, if it's used commonly enough throughout your code.

I've already made those extension methods in my code, but would it really hurt to have them in the API itself? Besides, they don't add any clutter, as they're only extension methods, and can only be consumed.

Imo they are too specific and don't really have any good general purpose or are that common. So it's a no for me.
