## This module implements an asynchronous IRC client.
## 
## Currently this module requires at least some knowledge of the IRC protocol.
## It provides a function for sending raw messages to the IRC server, together
## with some basic functions like sending a message to a channel. 
## It automizes the process of keeping the connection alive, so you don't
## need to reply to PING messages. In fact, the server is also PING'ed to check 
## the amount of lag.
