// Skeleton to part 9 of the Whispering Gophers code lab.
//
// This program extends part 8.
//
// It connects to the peer specified by -peer.
// It accepts connections from peers and receives messages from them.
// When it sees a peer with an address it hasn't seen before, it makes a
// connection to that peer.
// It adds an ID field containing a random string to each outgoing message.
// When it recevies a message with an ID it hasn't seen before, it broadcasts
// that message to all connected peers.
