[opensource-dev] Pre-processing chat input (was Re: Review Request: STORM-829 Viewer 2 does not parse /me in object Instant Messages

I tend to agree with you Argent.  Just a simple replace is fine.
While the tools I mentioned seem to all support the "/me" syntax, and
may even specially highlight such messages, I'd rather that they
didn't.

In actual chat I don't find myself using "/me" a lot, whether in SL or
out.  However, I DO use it in LSL extensively.
