In essence, chat should have a /me <string> command.

How it works:

User pacificfils types /me goes to get coffee
Chat prints:

pacificfils goes to get coffee

This would add a nice, simple, and fun feature to the chat that we already have.

[11:59] <@pacificifls> This is a test
[12:00] * pacificifls does a test

So in AskUbuntu Chat, the name and message would all be where just the message is. There would be no icon.
