Who would be responsible for mapping numerics to RPL_names?  What happens
when a server uses a custom RPL_name that epic doesn't know about?  This
is not really feasable.

There are already more than enough /on's for these types of messages.
We don't need to make it even more complicated for scripters to keep
track of what is going on.  /on public_other and /on msg_group really
shouldn't exist if there were any justice in the world.

Again -- adding more /on's doesn't solve any problems, it only makes it 
worse.  That's why we have the patterns argument.  What is the fucntional
difference between


        /on ctcp_version "from to argument" {...}

and

        /on ctcp "from to VERSION argument" {...}

except a few characters transposed?

I oppose adding gratuitous /on's that are already covered by other /on's.
I oppose removing legacy /on's for backwards compatability reasons only.
