I don't think the *Roster() classes are the thing you would want to
mess with here.
A separate listener class sounds more appropriate.
But since Be's API always uses event based loopers for everything, I
fail to see the point in providing such a class (I mean it's sort of
convenient to have the message parsed and the hooks called, but I don't
see the need for it for the case you mention).
And since the whole thing is pretty much a work in progress yet, I
would definitely like to keep the flexibility of the pure message based
approach for the forseeable future.
Bye,
Axel.
