"Highlight Ignores" are a feature that few know about and even fewer use.

You set a "highlight ignore" with the + prefix:

        /ignore +hop ALL
        /ignore [EMAIL PROTECTED] PUBLICS

When you fail to hook any of the following /on's...

        CHANNEL_NICK    CHANNEL_SIGNOFF GENERAL_PRIVMSG GENERAL_NOTICE  
        INVITE          JOIN            KICK            MODE
        MSG             MSG_GROUP       NICK            NOTICE
        PUBLIC          PUBLIC_OTHER    PUBLIC_MSG      SIGNOFF
        WALLOP

...the default output from the client will be embelished with a "highlight"
controlled by /SET HIGHLIGHT_CHAR.

If you hook the above /on's, then highlight ignores are totaly useless.
If you use implied on formats, then highlight ignores are totaly useless.

Anyways, I hate them.  I hate them because
        1) They're not ignores, they're anti-ignores.  It's confusing.
        2) This isn't hard to script, and a lot of people already have!
        3) Hardly anybody knows about this feature.
        4) Nobody uses this feature that I have ever known about.
        5) The code to handle it is icky, and getting in my way.

Therefore, unless someone can step up and tell me why they really love
this feature and want it to stay, I'm going to remove it.  I reserve the
right to solicit for a script replacement for it and remove it anyways.

Comments, questions, objections?
Jeremy
