Hi, this patch or similar would really make generating test data a lot
easier (please see the behavioral tests in these bugs [1] for examples).

If it were up to me, we'd also get rid of the interactive toggling, at
least while sessions are ongoing. The reason is that I find the most
interesting/important parts of a session to be the initial "connection
registration" phase and subsequent server burst (and possibly any
NickServ interactions and early JOIN activity that immediately follow).
But out of respect for tradition, I've left all of that alone. Thanks.
