 Ah, found it. [https://api.slack.com/reference/surfaces/formatting
 #special-mentions Slack Formatting] specifies that bots can't use
 `@(channel|here|group)` directly and should use `<!(channel|here|group)>`
 instead.. however.. Slack also
 [https://api.slack.com/reference/surfaces/formatting#automatic-parsing has
 some auto-parsing] which will convert it on the fly - I don't think that
 was always there. Since we set the `link_names` parameter to true, that
 gets triggered.
