I'm not much of an IRC person actually.  It's just too synchronous and
as such requires too much (human) interrupt processing.  It's too much
like the telephone.  Requires you to participate real-time.

I am just looking over the source currently.

Something I noticed is that the "shell" template (for parsing
"key=value" type config files, right?) does not allow for whitespace
before and/or after the = sign.  Perhaps the RE:

"s/^\s*(\w+)\s*=\s*("([^"]*)"|'([^']*)'|[^'"\s]+)\s*$//

would be more robust?
