DiscordGo Slash Commands Example

This example demonstrates how to utilize DiscordGo to create a Slash Command based bot, which would be able to listen and respond to interactions. This example covers all aspects of slash command interactions: options, choices, responses and followup messages. To avoid confusion, this example is more of a step-by-step tutorial, than a demonstration bot.
