Comment (by markjaquith):

 We decided in the dev chat to simplify our regex support, and to make it
 pluggable. Think something along the lines of:

 {{{
 add_chat_detection_formar( $regex_to_detect_this_type,
 $regex_to_parse_this_type );
 }}}

 Do detection based on the first line that matches one, then have the rest
 use that type. Have our core regexes use this system so we're on even
 footing. Someone can add some crazy "parse all the chats" plugin, but we
 don't need that level of crazy support in core.
