Editing WoW:Creating a slash command (section)

== Notes ==
* Default UI commands often have precedence over addon-created slash commands. There is no defined precedence order for addon-created commands, so conflicts caused by multiple addons attempting to use the same slash command will resolve non-deterministically.
** If the unique command identifier (the key in SlashCmdList) conflicts between multiple addons, the addon that executes the assignment last will own the slash command.
* Command identifiers are generally all caps, with underscores if necessary. These can also contain lowercase characters.
** The actual 'SLASH_&lt;CommandId&gt;&lt;Number&gt;' values should be localizable if you plan on your addon being translated, but the command ID will remain the same.
* Be prudent about how many aliases you make for your command, and try and pick something that's unlikely to collide with someone else's (including Blizzard's!)
* There's a second parameter passed to the slash command handler functions that is rarely used. It is the chat frame edit box frame that the slash command originated from.
 SLASH_BLAH1 = "/blah"
 SlashCmdList["BLAH"] = function(msg, editBox)
     -- change the text on the editBox.
     editBox:Show()
     editBox:SetText("Blah blah blah!")
 end
* If you want to set your slash command handler function to a method of an object, you will need to encapsulate the call to it inside a dummy function.

 function SomeObject:SlashHandler(message, editbox)
   -- do stuff
 end
 SLASH_BLAH1 = "/blah"
 SlashCmdList["BLAH"] = function(message, editbox) SomeObject:SlashHandler(message, editbox) end
