Details:

Latest Git version of ZNC supports an IRC protocol extension to forward the
original message timestamp (for delayed messages) to attached clients. It
would be useful to have this supported in WeeChat.

(Originally requested on IRC by nyuszika7h.)

----

Previously, when a bouncer had to send delayed messages to the client, it
would prefix/suffix the original receive time to the message text itself;
e.g.


<-- :address@hidden PRIVMSG #weechat :[16:32] Hi everyone!


The new "server-time" capability, as implemented by ZNC, modifies the protocol
itself while leaving the message text intact:


--> CAP REQ :server-time
<-- CAP ACK grawity :server-time
<-- @time=1348493754.432 :address@hidden PRIVMSG #weechat :Hi everyone!


The general syntax for "@tag=value" is described in the IRCv3 "message-tags"
specification
<https://github.com/atheme/ircv3-specifications/blob/master/specification/message-tags-3.2>.

The "time" tag is described in the IRCv3 "server-time" extension
<https://github.com/atheme/ircv3-specifications/blob/master/extensions/server-time-3.2>.
(Summary: The tag's value is a Unix timestamp.)
