To support other feature ideas and applications for SpeakinSpell, please add support for global channels:
* General
* Trade
* LocalDefense
* WorldDefense
* LookingForGroup
* custom channels by name? (instead of number)

Numbered channels can already be used by slash command, but the number of a channel is not fixed/absolute, so if you /leave, /join different channels, the numbers can become shifted, so it would be preferable to setup SpeakinSpell to use the channel by name instead, i.e. "trade" instead of "/2"

Part of this feature idea is intended to support the meta feature request ticket #35 to be able to automatically report:

[3. LocalDefense] Stonarius says: I was killed by Moocow, a Tauren Shaman at (45,62) Nagrand Elemental Plateau

This also calls back to ticket 5, Randomized trade spam.

SendChatMessage wants the channel number, which is subject to change.

The GetChannelName API is somewhat misnamed, and actually converts a name like "Trade" to the number "2" used to SendChatMessage.

Current version 3.2.2.20 supports slash commands in speeches, which can achieve this by typing /1, /2, etc, but that calls to the numbered channel, and join/leave channel can cause them be renumbered. So a named channel "Trade" in the GUI dropdown lists is called for,. which can be implemented through GetChannelName to always use the correct channel instead of hard-coded to channel 2.

I discussed this with Duerma the other day starting from her feature request to use custom channels. On her RP server her guild uses a custom channel for OOC chat, and she'd like SpeakinSpell to make use of that channel.

We discussed creating a new window of options in SpeakinSpell GUI similar to "/ss random" with a list of text boxes to add custom channels. These custom channels would then show up in the drop-down lists where you can select which channel under "/ss messages"

I'm re-assigning all my tickets to Duerma
