No, you need to add a handler for the actual invite message. At some
point, sleep will not cover the lag, and you will lose. Check the raw
log window to see what you need to dispatch on.

Now, a question for the rest of the group. What do we do when sleep()
is replaced by sub_which_performs_several_seconds_of_computation()?

I sort of suspect that IRC::blah is just pushing commands onto a queue
that gets flushed whenever the code dips back into XChat. But I don't
know the internals.
