This is a very powerful way of binding to an IRC message of a given type. The type is made up using bitwise operators to create your kind of type-specification from a list of types.

In order to make your own type specification you use the bitwise operators. If you want all QUIT and PART messages your could do the following.
Example 3-1. Binding to QUIT and PART messages using bind_type
$this->bind_type('a_method', WOLLABOT_TYPE_QUIT | WOLLABOT_TYPE_PART);
If you instead would like all messages except nickchanges and KICK messages you would use something like:
