Summary
With v8, intents are enforced when identifying. By default the library will request all intents, including privileged ones, even if the bot does not use them. This PR makes it easier for the authors of such bots to only request unprivileged intents as opposed to all intents.
It also allows you to specify no intents. Previously the documentation suggested that you could use
nil
for this, but this would have caused an error.Added
