[IRCServices] Short question (add)

[kfiresun at ix.netcom.com]

The nice thing about version 5 is that it's all modular.  So adding
something like this SHOULDN'T be at all hard to do, at least, in 
theory.  (One never knows until they get in and actually do it. ;)

Given the nature of the request I don't see any for seeable 
complications with this.  This certainly would be helpful to 
automated scripts and would also help keep things in-line with the 
over all RFC1459 requirement of not autoresponding to a notice.
Which is a, Good Thing(tm).

(Having said all this I might have Andy bludgeon me with a bad
Perl script or something, but we'll see :)

Yes! this is what I meant!

If this were put into every set of services that would be nice because
then people wouldn't have to make an individual script for every set
of services.
