Why?

• msg2 is already available in PKGBUILD packages in Arch Linux, as a bash function.
• Recently, namcap has begun to discourage the use.
• This utility provides the same functionality, but should be unproblematic, from the viewpoint of namcap.
• Makes msg2 available to any distro, not just Arch Linux.
