Interesting idea.  parse_string() is a versatile function :)

Anyone have some wise words about efficiency of parse_string(), explode()
and sscanf() for things like this?
And lookups? The switch statement is faster than a mapping?

If all, or most, of messages sent to players get converted like this, I
guess it should be fast. ;)

If the majority of messages do not contain colorcodes, maybe there is also
something to gain by first checking for the existence of colorcodes with a
little loop before actually calling a function to translate them?
