Pending actions I

You can really improve the user experience of your bot by asking the user simple yes or no follow-up questions. One easy way to handle these follow-ups is to define pending actions which get executed as soon as the user says "yes", and wiped if the user says "no".

In this exercise, you're going to define a policy() function which takes the intent as its sole argument and returns two values: The next action to take and a pending action. The policy function should return this pending action when a "yes" or "affirm" intent is returned and should wipe the pending actions if a "no" or "deny" intent is returned.

Here, the interpret(message) function has been defined for you such that if "yes" is in the message, "affirm" is returned, and if "no" is in the message, then "deny" is returned.
