/*
 * The message format is a WebSocket message separated with spaces.
 * The contents of each field could contain anything other than spaces,
 * The first character of each argument cannot be a colon. As an exception, the
 * last argument may contain spaces and the first character thereof may be a
 * colon, if the argument is prefixed with a colon. The colon used for the
 * prefix is not considered part of the content of the message. For example, in
 *
 *    SQUISH POP :cat purr!!
 *
 * the first field is "SQUISH", the second field is "POP", and the third
 * field is "cat purr!!".
 *
 * It is essentially an RFC 1459 IRC message without trailing CR-LF and
 * without prefixes. See section 2.3.1 of RFC 1459 for an approximate
 * BNF representation.
 *
 * The reason this was chosen instead of using protobuf etc. is that it
 * is simple to parse without external libraries, and it also happens to
 * be a format I'm very familiar with, having extensively worked with the
 * IRC protocol.
