+	* Plugin message mapper: new implementation. Multi-word parameters now
+	need not be the last, and it is possible to retrieve the entire
+	substring with preserved whitespace by using to_s. Also, parts of the
+	map string can be bracketed to make them optional. Examples:
+		remind :user [about] *stuff
+	will respond to
+		remind me about washing my teeth
+	and also to
+		remind me washing my teeth
+	It is possible to have parameters in brackets, in which case they will
+	be optional too, and default to nil or [] (resp. single- and
+	multi-word parameters) unless an alternative is provided in the
+	:defaults hash for the message map options.
