/**
 * The DiscussionHistory class controls the number of characters or messages to receive
 * when entering a room. The room will decide the amount of history to return if you don't 
 * specify a DiscussionHistory while joining a room.<p>
 * 
 * You can use some or all of these variable to control the amount of history to receive:   
 * <ul>
 *  <li>maxchars -> total number of characters to receive in the history.
 *  <li>maxstanzas -> total number of messages to receive in the history.
 *  <li>seconds -> only the messages received in the last "X" seconds will be included in the 
 * history.
 *  <li>since -> only the messages received since the datetime specified will be included in 
 * the history.
 * </ul>
 * 
 * Note: Setting maxchars to 0 indicates that the user requests to receive no history.
