res.emote doesn't appear to work

Can you make hubot emote a message? For example:

This sends as a normal message:

robot.respond /pie/i, (res) ->
    res.emote "I like pie"

Outputs /me I like pie, instead of the blue bar with just 'I like pie'

robot.respond /pie/i, (res) ->
    res.send "/me I like pie"

Yeah, it seems that by default the emote command is just an alias for send. We'll need to override the emote command and post an action message with the specified content instead of a regular message.

Ill give that a try and submit a PR if I get it working

Anyone figured this out yet? I am looking to implement this in another app using the api and can't seem to find any info.
