AceConsole-3.0 provides registration facilities for slash commands.
You can register slash commands to your custom functions and use the `GetArgs` function to parse them to your addons individual needs.

AceConsole-3.0 can be embeded into your addon, either explicitly by calling AceConsole:Embed(MyAddon) or by specifying it as an embeded library in your AceAddon. All functions will be available on your addon object and can be accessed directly, without having to explicitly call AceConsole itself.
It is recommended to embed AceConsole, otherwise you'll have to specify a custom `self` on all calls you make into AceConsole.
