Poorly.

IRC servers pass on what other people say. If I send \foo\, it sends
\foo\. If I send |foo| it sends |foo|. If I join |foo|, and an oper kicks
me out of \foo\, should my client treat these differently? You're saying
yes, even though to anyone else (and to the IRC server), I've been kicked
out of the channel in question.

As a side note, OPN's IRC daemon seems to break as well. Observe:

[ /join #\foo\ ]
--> You are now talking on #\foo\
--- carter.openprojects.net sets modes [#\foo\ +n]
[ /join #|foo| ]
( XChat's #\foo\ tab changes to #|foo| )
--> You are now talking on #|foo|
--- carter.openprojects.net sets modes [#|foo| +n]
[ /whois Darien ]
--- [Darien] (~Dan@cdslash.net) : irc.openprojects.net
--- [Darien] @#|foo| @#\foo\ #starlinux #macdev #cdslash
--- [Darien] carter.openprojects.net :Northern California, US
--- [Darien] idle 00:00:16, signon: Sat Apr 06 20:19:57
--- [Darien] End of WHOIS list.

Peculiar. Andrew Suffield, are you still around? Any explanation from OPN
programmers?
