// Package irc allows your application to speak the IRC protocol.
//
// The Message and Prefix structs provide translation to and from raw IRC messages:
//
//    // Parse the IRC-encoded data and store the result in a new struct:
//    message := irc.ParseMessage(raw)
//
//    // Translate back to a raw IRC message string:
//    raw = message.String()
//
// Decoder and Encoder can be used to decode and encode messages in a stream:
//
//    // Create a decoder that reads from given io.Reader
//    dec := irc.NewDecoder(reader)
//
//    // Decode the next IRC message
//    message, err := dec.Decode()
//
//    // Create an encoder that writes to given io.Writer
//    enc := irc.NewEncoder(writer)
//
//    // Send a message to the writer.
//    enc.Encode(message)
//
// The Conn type combines an Encoder and Decoder for a duplex connection.
//
//    c, err := irc.Dial("irc.server.net:6667")
//
//    // Methods from both Encoder and Decoder are available
//    message, err := c.Decode()
//
