Yes, but how are you going to decide what verbs should call notify() and
what verbs should call cnotify()?  For example, some people might want to
use ANSI color when they say something, but if you hack #3:say() to call
cnotify() (Or a verb that calls cnotify()), then people can't use ^ when
they say something.
As I said, the best solution is probably just to change the ^ to something
a little more obscure...
