DESCRIPTION
       POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::BotAddressed is a POE::Component::IRC
       plugin. It watches for public channel traffic (i.e. "irc_public" and
       "irc_ctcp_action") and will generate an "irc_bot_addressed",
       "irc_bot_mentioned" or "irc_bot_mentioned_action" event if its name
       comes up in channel discussion.

METHODS
   "new"
       One optional argument:

       'eat', set to true to make the plugin eat the "irc_public" /
       "irc_ctcp_action" event and only generate an appropriate event, default
       is false.

       Returns a plugin object suitable for feeding to POE::Component::IRC's
       "plugin_add" method.

OUTPUT
   "irc_bot_addressed"
       Has the same parameters passed as "irc_ctcp_public".  "ARG2" contains
       the message with the addressed nickname removed, ie. Assuming that your
       bot is called LameBOT, and someone says 'LameBOT: dance for me', you
       will actually get 'dance for me'.

   "irc_bot_mentioned"
       Has the same parameters passed as "irc_public".
