=begin rdoc
  BotModule is the base class for the modules that enhance the rbot
  functionality. Rather than subclassing BotModule, however, one should
  subclass either CoreBotModule (reserved for system modules) or Plugin
  (for user plugins).

  A BotModule interacts with Irc events by defining one or more of the following
  methods, which get called as appropriate when the corresponding Irc event
  happens.

  map(template, options)::
  map!(template, options)::
     map is the new, cleaner way to respond to specific message formats without
     littering your plugin code with regexps, and should be used instead of
     #register() and #privmsg() (see below) when possible.

     The difference between map and map! is that map! will not register the new
     command as an alternative name for the plugin.

     Examples:

       plugin.map 'karmastats', :action => 'karma_stats'

       # while in the plugin...
       def karma_stats(m, params)
         m.reply "..."
       end

       # the default action is the first component
       plugin.map 'karma'

       # attributes can be pulled out of the match string
       plugin.map 'karma for :key'
       plugin.map 'karma :key'

       # while in the plugin...
       def karma(m, params)
         item = params[:key]
         m.reply 'karma for #{item}'
       end

       # you can setup defaults, to make parameters optional
       plugin.map 'karma :key', :defaults => {:key => 'defaultvalue'}

       # the default auth check is also against the first component
       # but that can be changed
       plugin.map 'karmastats', :auth => 'karma'

       # maps can be restricted to public or private message:
       plugin.map 'karmastats', :private => false
       plugin.map 'karmastats', :public => false

     See MessageMapper#map for more information on the template format and the
     allowed options.

  listen(UserMessage)::
                         Called for all messages of any type. To
                         differentiate them, use message.kind_of? It'll be
                         either a PrivMessage, NoticeMessage, KickMessage,
                         QuitMessage, PartMessage, JoinMessage, NickMessage,
                         etc.

  ctcp_listen(UserMessage)::
                         Called for all messages that contain a CTCP command.
                         Use message.ctcp to get the CTCP command, and
                         message.message to get the parameter string. To reply,
                         use message.ctcp_reply, which sends a private NOTICE
                         to the sender.

  message(PrivMessage)::
                         Called for all PRIVMSG. Hook on this method if you
                         need to handle PRIVMSGs regardless of whether they are
                         addressed to the bot or not, and regardless of

  privmsg(PrivMessage)::
                         Called for a PRIVMSG if the first word matches one
                         the plugin #register()ed for. Use m.plugin to get
                         that word and m.params for the rest of the message,
                         if applicable.

  unreplied(PrivMessage)::
                         Called for a PRIVMSG which has not been replied to.

  notice(NoticeMessage)::
                         Called for all Notices. Please notice that in general
                         should not be replied to.

  kick(KickMessage)::
                         Called when a user (or the bot) is kicked from a
                         channel the bot is in.

  invite(InviteMessage)::
                         Called when the bot is invited to a channel.

  join(JoinMessage)::
                         Called when a user (or the bot) joins a channel

  part(PartMessage)::
                         Called when a user (or the bot) parts a channel

  quit(QuitMessage)::
                         Called when a user (or the bot) quits IRC

  nick(NickMessage)::
                         Called when a user (or the bot) changes Nick
  modechange(ModeChangeMessage)::
                         Called when a User or Channel mode is changed
  topic(TopicMessage)::
                         Called when a user (or the bot) changes a channel
                         topic

  welcome(WelcomeMessage)::
                         Called when the welcome message is received on
                         joining a server succesfully.

  motd(MotdMessage)::
                         Called when the Message Of The Day is fully
                         recevied from the server.

  connect::              Called when a server is joined successfully, but
                         before autojoin channels are joined (no params)

  set_language(String)::
                         Called when the user sets a new language
                         whose name is the given String

  save::                 Called when you are required to save your plugin's
                         state, if you maintain data between sessions

  cleanup::              called before your plugin is "unloaded", prior to a
                         plugin reload or bot quit - close any open
                         files/connections or flush caches here
