The user table type contains information about a chat user.

The id field contains a user's unique identifier string.

No assumptions should be made about its format other than that its a unique string representing that user.

The name field contains a user's display name.

Because of protocol limitations, there is no way to tell what the original name of a user was if they are using an alternate nick name.

The colour field contains a user's display colour. It will either be the string inherit, or a # prefixed 6 character hex string.
