This seems like the most straight forward way to access b.SendMessage() directly from a plugin.
The use case is sending out messages which are triggered by events outside of the message stream. My specific itch is notifying an IRC channel of a build on docker-hub after receiving a webhook. So events, not responsive commands nor periodic commands.
I'm happy to explore other solutions such as registering a function with an Outbox, but even in that case the call would be initiated from outside of bot. Perhaps using a queue (or even kafka or redis pub/sub) would be better.
