/*

What in the heck is a zcommand?

    A zcommand is basically a specific type of slash
    command where the client does almost no work and
    the server just does something pretty simple like
    flip a setting.

    The first zcommand we wrote is for "/ping", and
    the server just responds with a 200 for that.

    Not all slash commands use zcommand under the hood.
    For more exotic things like /poll see submessage.js
    and widgetize.js
