Add an 'action' event

[rretzbach]

Currently only sending actions is supported, like "/me is coding" via

client.action(channel, 'is coding');

There should therefore also be an 'action' event to be able to register a listener for action messages. As a workaround you can add a listener to the 'raw' event like this:

client.addListener('raw', function (message) {
    if (message.args[1]) {
        var match = message.args[1].match(/^\u0001ACTION (.+)\u0001$/);
        if (match) {
            socket.emit('action', { nick: message.nick, to: message.args[0], timestamp: getTime(),message: match[1] });
        }
    }
});

@rretzbach better workaround is hooking onto ctcp, iirc.

There already is an action event...?

[rretzbach]

You are right. I only looked at the last two versions which were released. I should pay more attention to the master branch...

Just FYI this is not actually in the documentation.
