======Synopsis:======
__me__ <action description>

======Description:======
__ME__ lets you perform an action on your current channel.  It lets you
describe what you're doing as though someone is watching you, rather
than you telling them.

======Examples:======
To perform an action:
      /me doesn't want to go to work today

Anyone on the channel you sent the action to will see something like this:
      * foobar doesn't want to go to work today

======Aliases:======
__ME__ functions identically to using [[DESCRIBE]] to send an action to your
current channel, as well as to [[CTCP]] [[ctcp ACTION|ACTION]].

======Restrictions:======
This command makes use of [[CTCP]] (client-to-client protocol), which is not
part of the IRC protocol.  Most modern IRC clients understand [[CTCP]], but not
all do, while others might not support the same [[CTCP]] commands that
ircII-EPIC supports.  If you receive an error of some sort, then the client on
the receiving end is unable to properly handle your [[CTCP]] message.
