# The first argument to /patattack is the nick of the recipient.  The
# second is a size specification, in the form of ROWSxCOLS.  For
# example, `/patattack slackie 2x3' produces:
#
#   >slackie< *pat* *pat* *pat*
#   >slackie< *pat* *pat* *pat*
#
# /patattack accepts an option called `--combine' or `-c' for short.
# It directs /patattack to combine the pats to form a larger pat.  For
# example, `/patattack slackie 2x3' produces:
#
#   >slackie< *patpatpat*
#   >slackie< *patpatpat*
