Make it possible to receive notifications on all messages -- not just mentions -- for certain channels

[ahmedalsudani]

Thanks for creating weechat.el! It's been a great boon to me.

One thing I find useful is notifications for all messages in the channels that I own.

My plan is to make this change for my own use, but if you think this is valuable, I will make my changes look nicer so they can be merged here.

Would you merge it if it were another defcustom that allowed users to specify "always notify" buffers?

Hi Ahmed,

I'm glad you like weechat.el! It has some shortcomings, but it's pretty flexible in most cases.

Allowing users to specify "always notify" for a list of buffers sounds quite useful, I'd be glad to merge a change like this into weechat.el.

Maybe you can extend weechat-notification-types similar to weechat-tracking-types and allow a cons of (regex . message-type) where regex must match the buffer-name and message-type would act as a filter (:highlight, :message) for notifications to trigger.

This would allow users to customize the notification-level on a pretty flexible per-buffer or even per-network level.

If you need any pointers feel free to ping me. Also, feel free to try something else - there's no guarantee my idea is good ;-)
