Task: ID 28
  Title: Circle, Tangence, Net::Async::IRC
  Tags : CPAN, Perl
--
Tangence:

 * Considerations on POD docs sometime

 * Allow servers/connections on UNIX sockets on filesystem. Consider
   unix:///path/to/sock. Open question on "how to do unix+ssh:"?

 * chmod 600 for security

 * CHANGE_MOVE operation on hash properties (do we need it?)

 * Some XS/C rewrites of at least the boring lower-level bits of serialisation

 * Nullable types

 * Structure types - use them for metadata - interesting bootstrapping

 * Consideration on how to make available to other languages. Needs more
   compiler

---

Net::Async::IRC:

 * Delegated objects

 * Attempt to classify target of numerics similar to basic commands - generic
   approach?

    + Or perhaps using an irssi style system of submitting a list of possible
      replies to a command, collecting them up as required.

 * CAP

 * ISUPPORT: http://www.irc.org/tech_docs/005.html

 * STARTTLS: http://www.inspircd.org/wiki/STARTTLS_Documentation

Circle - BE

 * More commands:
     /reconnect, /cycle
       - fix /disconnect bug

     /whois

     /quit - just leave IRC? Quitting is more interesting here - one network,
     all networks... FE/BE split too...

 * Consider /away management. Session attach/detach hooks in root obj or
   somewhere. Count active sessions.

 * Expand the rules core:

   + More conditions:
     - IRC event source / type / target / ...
     - match formatting

   + More actions:
     - surpress event log printing
     - log to file?

   + More rulechains, more integration of rules into core code

   + More chains, or more tests of events? Consider a typical autoop:
       /rules add input cmd("JOIN") fromhost("someone@somewhere"): mode(user
       "+o")
       /rules add chan.join fromhost("someone@somewhere"): mode(user "+o")

   + Highlight action should do more than just set level(3). Consider a session
     broadcast "highlight_item" - FE could ping speaker, or whatever. Also
     gives a chance to think about highlights on hidden items.

 * Use Widgets to implement more details about IRC channels, users,
   connections... etc... 

 * Tab-complete

Circle - GTK FE

 * Tab rightclick menu?

 * Consider inchannel NAMES list display as GTK widgets

 * New GTK scroller custom code - do direct Pango operations on client window.
