How to make a discord bot accept multiple prefixes

Question

I am making a bot with multiple commands and for the sake of relevancy I want one command to be used with a + prefix and another one to be used with a ! prefix.

I have a config file with a dictionary that I imported so I could use those to define my prefix.

Here is what my prefix bot thing is:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=BOT['DEFAULT_PREFIX'])

I tried making another prefix in the config file so it has two of them:

'DEFAULT_PREFIX': '+',
'SPECIAL_PREFIX': '!',

I could add a second variable such as client = command.Bot... but I already tried that and the default prefix ( + ) worked fine being used in my cogs.py but the special prefix ( ! ) didn't work with my report command.

Is it possible to somehow have two available prefixes for commands to use? Or even better , to assign a custom prefix to one decorator? (I have tried doing bot.command(command_prefix='!') but had no luck).

Thanks!

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=['first prefix','second prefix'])
