** If "before" is provided, "name" is ignored.

** If "raw" is provided, the "xmsg" text is sent back as-is, in
** markdown format, rather than being HTML-ized. This is not used or
** supported by fossil's own chat client but is intended for 3rd-party
** clients. (Specifically, for Brad Harder's curses-based client.)
