I would still like to find a good way to structure messages. I'm up to 146
in the base Msg type, and it is not flat, by counting it seems that I have
6 message types that just hold another message type for something further
down, which average in size from 2 for 1 of them, 4 for 3 of them, 8 for 1,
and 21 for another (and that 21 is growing as well). I kind of namespace
the message type by following a naming convention of
`<SectionCamelCase>_<SpecificMsgCamelCase>`, like this set at the top for
example:
```
| RoomList_Init Int (List RoomDef)
| RoomList_Joined Int (List RoomDef)
| RoomList_Parted Int (List RoomDef)
| RoomList_Notif Int (List MsgObj)
```
It works, but does not feel right, like I feel the whole Room handling
stuff should be delegated out too, but that just ends up going further out
of 'flat' messages that everyone keeps saying to do here, but I really feel
like that is the wrong way and about to swap all this to a tree of messages
as the couple that are like that work really well... >.>
