The message format that we get over the wire from the Slack event stream has user and channel names in some kind of ID format - e.g., "C12345" for a channel. The bot library provides a way to look these up but it requires state from the bot itself. I propose to do the lookup on message receipt and add the human-readable names directly to our Event struct.
