Example:
<UserA> I was thinking of "bagh"
<UserB> Oh, hrm, maybe "baz" is a better idea
* UserA smacks UserB over the head with a piece of wood
<UserB> Oi! what was that for?
<UserA> You should know that "baz" is hidiously broken and should be
avoided
<UserB> Oh yeah, sorry, slipped my mind, guess I deserved that then.
it highlights that you're "doing" something instead of "saying"
something.
* UserA Sighs
vs
<UserA> Sighs
has two very different meanings. (The first that they sigh, the second
that they say "Sighs")
