    This class is used to interact with the Discord WebSocket and API.

    .. _deque: https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/collections.html#collections.deque
    .. _event loop: https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-eventloops.html

    Parameters
    ----------
    max_messages : Optional[int]
        The maximum number of messages to store in :attr:`messages`.
        This defaults to 5000. Passing in `None` or a value less than 100
        will use the default instead of the passed in value.
    loop : Optional[event loop].
        The `event loop`_ to use for asynchronous operations. Defaults to ``None``,
        in which case the default event loop is used via ``asyncio.get_event_loop()``.

    Attributes
    -----------
    user : Optional[:class:`User`]
        Represents the connected client. None if not logged in.
    servers : list of :class:`Server`
        The servers that the connected client is a member of.
    private_channels : list of :class:`PrivateChannel`
        The private channels that the connected client is participating on.
    messages
        A deque_ of :class:`Message` that the client has received from all
        servers and private messages. The number of messages stored in this
        deque is controlled by the ``max_messages`` parameter.
    email
        The email used to login. This is only set if login is successful,
        otherwise it's None.
    gateway
        The websocket gateway the client is currently connected to. Could be None.
