So many of you know this, so bear with me:
/SEND sends a message to the window's current target
/SAY sends a message to the window's current channel.
If you have a /query going in a window with a channel, the /query overrides
the channel as the current target. This is the purpose of /say, to be able
to msg a channel in a window where you have a /query going.
Historically the /exec -out command has always used the /say command to
redirect the output. Recently it has been requested that we switch to
using /send so it can be possible to /exec -out to a query.
This change will mean if you have a channel and a /query in the same
window, then /exec -out will send to the query, and not the channel.
This seems reasonable enough to me, but it is a break from backwards
compatability, so it needs to be discussed and vetted in public.
What do you all think?
Jeremy
