docs: Shortcut to send a message through the connection.
  
          This function sends the input message through the connection. A target
          can be defined, else it will send it to the channel or user from the
          input Line, effectively responding on whatever triggered the command
          which calls this function to be called. If raw has not been set to
          True, formatting will be applied using the standard Python Formatting
          Mini-Language, using the additional given args and kwargs, along with
          some additional kwargs, such as the match object to easily access Regex
          matches, color codes and other things.
