  Creates a new elm Msg in the current directory.

  Run with `mix elmer.gen.msg <args>`

  Args are similar to phoenix gen arguments where they are in the format "MsgName:Type1:Type2:TypeN"

  * MsgName is the name of the message you want to generate
  * The types will be entered in exactly as you type them.
  * You can enter in as many messages as you want as long as they're separated by a space
  * Currently there's no way to set the root elm path so you have to enter it each time you generate.
