Unfortunately this isn't something that this library can support, since the Discord API doesn't return all member data for a message. Specifically, the author field of the message object only provides a user object, not a member object.

If you want this functionality, the best way to make your voice heard is the discord docs repo. The most similar issue to this right now is discord/discord-api-docs#3258.
