-Caveats (or limitations):
-=========================
-
-* Nick column is fixed and truncated to 10 columns wide.
-
- This is something fixable down the line. It merely serves to
- simplify the alignment of messages into two columns (nick and
- messages).
-
-* Lines are word-wrapped to a fixed 60 columns.
-
- This is also fixable down the line though a lot more painful
- than the nick column issue. POSIX fold is used to achieve the
- word wrapping but doesn't take into account non-printable
- characters and unicode.
-
- What this means is that wrapping will always be a little _off_
- as escape sequences, IRC formatting and unicode will throw
- out all attempts at calculating the "visible" line length.
-
- It's an interesting problem to solve. I've made a myriad of
- attempts at writing a suitable function in bash though they're
- all too slow (as expected!).
-
-* No automatic server reconnect.
-
- This should be fairly easy to fix though I need to figure out
- the best way of doing so.
-
-* No SSL (sadly).
-
- The network connection is through bash's builtin /dev/tcp
- feature which doesn't allow for SSL.
-
-Keybindings:
-============
-
-Ctrl+n - Next buffer.
-Ctrl+p - Previous buffer.
-Tab - Completion of nicks and channels.
-
-Further, all readline keybindings are available for use. See the
-readline or bash manpages for a list of these.
-
-Keybindings to birch may also be set via a .inputrc file. Which
-can be configured by setting `$BIRCH_INPUTRC`.
