Package text provides a rich text API for cchat interfaces to use.
Asserting
Although interfaces here contain asserter methods similarly to
cchat, the backend should take care to not implement multiple
interfaces that may seem conflicting. For example, if Avatarer is
already implemented, then Imager shouldn't be.

Imager implies the segment should be replaced with a (possibly

The Imager segment must return a bound of length zero, that is,
the start and end bounds must be the same, unless the Imager
segment covers something meaningful, as images must not
substitute texts and only complement them.
An example of the start and end bounds being the same would be
any inline image, and an Imager that belongs to a Mentioner
segment should have its bounds overlap. Normally,
implementations with separated Mentioner and Imager
implementations don't have to bother about this, since with
Mentioner, the same Bounds will be shared, and with Imager, the
Bounds method can easily return the same variable for start and
end.
For segments that also implement mentioner, the image should be
treated as a square avatar.

Comment: Comment{`
Package cchat is a set of stabilized interfaces for cchat
implementations, joining the backend and frontend together.
Backend
Almost anything in the backend comes with an ID. For example, a
Server must have an ID, or a Session must have a user ID. The
backend is required to guarantee that IDs are somehow unique. This
should already be the case for most chat services; for example,
Discord provides IDs for guilds, channels, members, and more. The
only time that the backend should not guarantee ID uniqueness is
across Sessions, because it doesn't make sense to do so. In this
case, the frontend should guarantee uniqueness instead, either by
discarding duplicated items, overriding them, or anything
reasonable and explicit.
Methods implemented by the backend that have frontend containers as
arguments can do IO. Frontends must NOT rely on individual backend
states and should always assume that they will block.
Methods that do not return an error must NOT do any IO to prevent
blocking the main thread. As such, ID() and Name() must never do any
IO. Methods that do return an error may do IO, but they should be
documented per method.
Backend implementations have certain conditions that should be
adhered to:
- Storing MessagesContainer and ServersContainer are advised
against; however, they should be done if need be.
- Other containers such as LabelContainer and IconContainer
should also not be stored; however, the same rule as above
applies.
- For the server list, icon updates and such that happen after
their calls should use SetServers().
- For the nickname of the current server, the backend can store
the state of the label container. It must, however, remove the
container when the stop callback from JoinServer() is called.
- Some methods that take in a container may take in a context as
well. Although implementations don't have to use this context,
it should try to.
Note: IO in most cases usually refer to networking, but they should
files and anything that is blocking, such as mutexes or semaphores.
Note: As mentioned above, contexts are optional for both the
frontend and backend. The frontend may use it for cancellation, and
the backend may ignore it.
Some interfaces can be extended. Interfaces that are extendable will
have methods starting with "As" and returns another interface type.
The implementation may or may not return the same struct as the
interface, but the caller should not have to type assert it to a
struct. They can also return nil, which should indicate the
backend that the feature is not implemented.
To avoid confusing, when said "A implements B," it is mostly assumed
that A has a method named "AsB." It does not mean that A can be
type-asserted to B.
For future references, these "As" methods will be called asserter
methods.
Note: Backends must not do IO in the "As" methods. Most of the time,
it should only conditionally check the local state and return value
or nil.
Below is an example of checking for an extended interface.
if iconer := server.AsIconer(); iconer != nil {
println("Server implements Iconer.")
}
Frontend
Frontend contains all interfaces that a frontend can or must
implement. The backend may call these methods any time from any
goroutine. Thus, they should be thread-safe. They should also not
block the call by doing so, as backends may call these methods in
its own main thread.
It is worth pointing out that frontend container interfaces will not
have an error handling API, as frontends can do that themselves.
Errors returned by backend methods will be errors from the
backend itself and never the frontend errors.

Run executes the given command, with the slice being

Backlogger adds message history capabilities into a message
container. The backend should send old messages using the
MessageCreate method of the MessageContainer, and the frontend
should automatically sort messages based on the timestamp.
As there is no stop callback, if the backend needs to fetch
messages asynchronously, it is expected to use the context to
know when to cancel.
The frontend should usually call this method when the user
scrolls to the top. It is expected to guarantee not to call
Backlogger more than once on the same ID. This can usually be
done by deactivating the UI.
Note that the optional usage of contexts also apply here. The
frontend should deactivate the UI when the backend is working.
However, the frontend can accomodate this by not deactivating
until another event is triggered, then freeze the UI until the
method is cancelled. This works even when the backend does not
use the context.
