FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I've become frustrated of typing /msg player text every time I wanted to send a PM.
So I took redsand, modified and shortened it beyond recognition and this was the result.

Send private message to player:
@player text
or
@player:text
will result in the following output:
at you: <yourname> @player text
at target: (yourname) @player text
(but no other players will receive that message)
This is equivalent to /msg player text

Send private message to multiple players:
@player1,player2 text
or
@player1,player2:text
will result in the following output:
at you: <yourname> @player1,player2 text
at target 1: (yourname) @player1,player2 text
at target 2: (yourname) @player1,player2 text
(but no other players will receive that message)
This is equivalent to /msg player1 text and /msg player2 text

Send a message to the player(s) you sent the last message to:
@ text
will result in the following output:
at you: <yourname> @ text
at last target(s): (yourname) @ text
(but no other players will receive that message)
This is equivalent to /msg <the last player you wrote to> text

Hints:

• do NOT write spaces behind commas when using @player1,player2,...,playerN text
• all players the PM is addressed to get the unmodified version of the chat message, so they can see to whom that message went.
• the <yourname> output can't be turned off.
• the round brackets tell that only a bunch of players received that message.(as if the @ isn't enough)

This mod is, although modified beyond recognition, based on [redsand].

Very nice idea to use the @.
