+This Bot uses the BotEventHandler class to handle the bot.
+
+First, a few handler functions are defined. Then, those functions are passed to
+the Broadcaster and registered at their respective places.
+Then, the bot is started and the CLI-Loop is entered, where all text inputs are
+inserted into the update queue for the bot to handle.
