 (8sync uses GOOPS to define actors.)
 We extended the handle-line generic method, so this is the code that
 will be called whenever the IRC bot "hears" anything.
+This method is itself an action handler, hence the second argument
+for =message=, which we can ignore for now.
+Pleasantly, the message's argument body is passed in as the rest of
+the arguments.

 For now the code is pretty basic: it just outputs whatever it "hears"
 from a user in a channel to the current output port.
 Pretty boring!
