Using commands with additional data is inconvenient

[Bobronium]

Problem

Currently interactions with bot done via this scheme: user needs to send message with this layout: <command> <data>

Telegram interface suggests autocompletion for commands, however current design doesn't allow to combine autocompletion with additional data.

Proposal

Either use commands as state changers, e. g.:

1. User sends command
2. User sends data

Or, don't use commands at all, instead:

1. User sends data
2. Bot replies with reply markup containing available options for sent data

Both options will make backend more complex, bur will increase convenience for end user.

Whether such trade off is worth it/applicable/desirable is up to you.

I appreciate the functionality in any case. Thank you!
