Add an API for listing users in a room/channel

[bfirsh]

This would be really helpful for scripts that address all users, check whether a user is in a channel, etc.

I'd imagine this would be implemented like a bunch of other methods on robot, basically it'd delegate to the adapter:

  usersForRoom: (room) ->
    @adapter.usersForRoom user

You can also get pretty far by getting a listing of each room at startup, then having a robot.enter and robot.leave to update the running state.

This is a pretty important enhancement and should stay open?

Seriously?

Any workarounds to get the list of users in a specific channel?

It seems to be like at the moment a user object in the brain can only store a single room, so e.g. the IRC adapter just overwrites the user data when a user is present in multiple rooms (with the last one it sees). Also, there's doesn't seem to be an API for removing user info, but only for adding it.

I'm currently implementing Web Push notifications for people offline/away users, and having up-to-date and complete data about who's online in which room would make this both much easier and more efficient, as well as compatible with not just the one or two adapters I'll hack it into now.
