What's That at the Front of My Emotes?

Rejoice, emoters! You can now prepend text to the beginning of your
custom emotes.

Using roughly the same syntax as for says, text enclosed in parentheses
at the beginning of your emote will now be placed before your name in
the emote text. For example, if I do this:

emote (Doing a neat trick,) prepends text at the front of his emote.

Players in the room with me will see:

Doing a neat trick, Ieptix prepends text at the front of his emote.

This requires the opening paren to be the very first character in the
emote text, and works with both targeted and untargeted emotes.

Note that your name is still automatically entered before the main body
text, so the following will not display as you want (it will double up
your name):

emote (Giving a demonstration,) Ieptix does a thing.

This will show, embarrassingly:

Giving a demonstration, Ieptix Ieptix does a thing.

Penned by My hand on the 16th of Avechary, in the year 398 CE.
