Third party lookup
==================
This module adds support for clients to determine Matrix rooms and users that
are being used by third-party network bridges to represent locations or users
on those third-party networks. This is mostly useful when interacting with
"portal"-style bridged rooms - rooms created and managed by the third-party
network bridge itself, which has a reliably named alias pointing at it.
