Sketching up a +o function

Attempting to make the smallest case work first, as the code reflects
I'm comparing the latest message in the channel to the message 'Alfred: make KiraN op'
and then this should make him, KiraN, op. This means that the code in ops needs to be
changed because it currently makes whomever writes the statement op. Or would, assuming
it runs as expected. Later on we need to determine if the user who initiates the
command has the authority to do so
Found the target user in the message in the channel
Can send a line that would give op

However nothing happens, curious.
Can give user +o
Mode changes are only parsed in private messages
Message is sent from change_mode
Can successfully retrieve /NAMES
Zero progress made

Snapshot commit. Nothing worth noting. Having trouble working with the names list
Logging the NAMES list

Trying to access the nicklist in that way, it is roundabout, but it's
so far the only promising route I've taken as of late. Strangely,
I've run into an issue reading from the log. Reading from it is faster
than writing to it, even if I try to do a time.sleep() before the
read.
Restored the timestamp logging - it doesn't affect the execution time
Laying down the foundation for #7
Clean-up premerge
