 4.7 irc
 =======
 
 The ‘irc’ scheme is defined in the Internet Draft at
 <http://www.w3.org/Addressing/draft-mirashi-url-irc-01.txt> (which was
 never approved as an RFC). Such URLs have the form
 
      irc://HOST:PORT/TARGET,NEEDPASS
 
 and are retrieved by opening an IRC session using the function specified
 by ‘url-irc-function’.
 
  -- User Option: url-irc-function
      The value of this option is a function, which is called to open an
      IRC connection for ‘irc’ URLs.  This function must take five
      arguments, HOST, PORT, CHANNEL, USER and PASSWORD.  The CHANNEL
      argument specifies the channel to join immediately, and may be
      ‘nil’.
 
      The default is ‘url-irc-rcirc’, which uses the Rcirc package.
      Other options are ‘url-irc-erc’ (which uses ERC) and
      ‘url-irc-zenirc’ (which uses ZenIRC).
