Nitpicking the code isn't necessary, just whether it is a decent package that we should add to Emacs. It is a single file, rcirc.el. The author (Ryan Yeske) looked into other IRC Emacs implementations and had various reasons for writing a new one. If anyone here is happily using another IRC Emacs package, I'd be especially grateful for any details and/or a comparison. Please include me in any replies, as I'm not on the list. Thanks. karl
