"""
This Bot uses the BotEventHandler class to handle the bot.

First, a few handler functions are defined. Then, those functions are passed to
the Dispatcher and registered at their respective places.
Then, the bot is started and the CLI-Loop is entered.

Usage:
Basic Echobot example, repeats messages.
Type 'stop' on the command line to stop the bot.
