[IRCServices Coding] pseudo treatment..

[Yusuf Iskenderoglu]

Not ignoring the clients services itself is providing does ultimately
mean that services shall be parsing its own write buffer.

Resulting in that not only recognizing what the result of the RAW
command might have done, but also recognizing that the Global has just
sent a logon notice to user X, or that ChanServ greeted user Y with the
entrymsg, or even that user Z has read the help for AKILL, etc.

I tried to give examples of data that services would have to parse and
throw away, since unimportant but which is the most biggest part of the
IRC data services is generating.

Can you imagine what kind of unnecessary slowdown this may generate on a
13k user network?
