Wez Furlong 42bf5c5e61 docs: adjust reference to improve search terms
We've been hoping that mkdocs-material will ship the much anticipated
search enhancements for some time, but it's time to recognize that
we need to do something to improve the search results with how
things work right now.

This is a big commit that changes the titles of the various pages
from the code-annotated synopsis to just the name of the function.

This makes it much easier now to match things like `kumo.reject`
directly, but `reject` remains awkward to find.

I think this is the best that we can do at this time.

A few functions have been annotated with the `status: deprecated` to
show as deprecated in the toc/nav (shows with a little trash can next
to the name).

set_meta

message:set_meta(KEY, VALUE)

Messages are associated with some metadata. You can think of this metadata as being equivalent to a JSON object.

The set_meta method allows you to set a field of that object to a value that you specify.

You can assign any value that is serializable as a JSON:

-- set foo='bar', a string value
msg:set_meta('foo', 'bar')

-- set foo=123, a numeric value
msg:set_meta('foo', 123)

-- set foo=true, a boolean value
msg:set_meta('foo', true)

-- set foo={key="value"}, an object value
msg:set_meta('foo', { key = 'value' })

You can retrieve a metadata value via message:get_meta.

Pre-defined meta values

The following meta values are unique to the message scope:

<style> table tbody tr td:nth-of-type(2) { white-space: nowrap; } </style>
Scope Name Purpose Since
Message queue specify the name of the queue to which the message will be queued. Must be a string value.
Message tenant specify the name/identifier of the tenant, if any. Must be a string value.
Message campaign specify the name/identifier of the campaign. Must be a string value.
Message routing_domain Overrides the domain of the recipient domain for routing purposes. {{since('2023.08.22-4d895015', inline=True)}}

!!! Note Additional metadata is available in the message scope that is copied in from the connection scope, for a full list of all available metadata, see the Predefined Metadata page.
