# General TODO list
# * do we want to handle a Channel list for each User telling which
#   Channels is the User on (of those the client is on too)?
#   We may want this so that when a User leaves all Channels and he hasn't
#   sent us privmsgs, we know we can remove him from the Server @users list
#   FIXME for the time being, we do it with a method that scans the server
#   (if defined), so the method is slow and should not be used frequently.
# * Maybe ChannelList and UserList should be HashesOf instead of ArrayOf?
#   See items marked as TODO Ho.
#   The framework to do this is now in place, thanks to the new [] method
#   for NetmaskList, which allows retrieval by Netmask or String
