Description
If a command is bolded, the formatting will confuse the parser and doof won't respond. We should either figure out how to remove the formatting before parsing the command, or see if Slack provides an unformatted version of that text we should use instead.

Research direction
Start by tracing Doof's command-parsing entry point and how Slack message text reaches it. Reproduce the problem with a bolded command, then determine whether formatting should be removed before parsing or an unformatted Slack text value should be used; done means formatted commands receive the same response as plain commands.
