[EPIC] Request for discussion: doubly quoted words

2006-09-06 Thread Stanislaw Halik
Hello, I want to discuss doubly quoted words. As you know, words quoted inside of "" aren't a special case in the parser, they're just literal "s embedded inside strings. However, that introduces several deficencies present only by virtue of having dwords. No /fe and /for, nor any word-related f

[EPIC] `/on kick' behaviour inconsistent with other channel hooks

2006-08-31 Thread Stanislaw Halik
Hello, The behaviour of `/on kick' seems different than the rest of channel hooks and inadequate for some purposes. The hook is thrown after the KICK command is processed by the client, which means that in case we're the ones being kicked from the channel, its data is lost before we're able to re

[EPIC] proposal regarding notify_name

2005-08-04 Thread Stanislaw Halik
hello, it's my first post, i wanted to share opinions on how to make notify_name more generally useful and how to make it provide the same (or better) functionality as other irc clients, like irssi. irssi, mirc and other clients use different activity levels for CRAP events (kick, join and such),
