Package irc allows your application to speak the irc protocol.

* limited scope, does one thing and does it well.
* focus on simplicity and speed.
* stable api: updates shouldn't break existing software.
* well documented code.
this package does not manage your entire irc connection. it only translates the protocol to easy to use go types. it is meant as a single component in a larger irc library, or for basic irc bots for which a large irc package would be overkill.
