I think that this proposal, if implemented, would make support for something like `JOINRESTORE` unneeded. Sorry if I've missed your point, or if I'm not explaining myself clearly; I don't...

Oh nice, that works great. Doesn't help with the nicklist, but it's fine for most day to day chatting. I think fixing the nicklist client-side would require an actual plugin...

Whoops, the workaround doesn't work for the relay. Which makes sense, rendering of buffer names is entirely a client-side thing. But it is unfortunate.

~~Adding a local alias for it via Element (`#nixos:ancilla.ca`) doesn't appear to work either.~~ I ended up reconnecting weechat for unrelated reasons and now both `#nix:nixos.org` (which I added a...

Unanswered questions: How do we handle backrefs in tables? Does the $1 in "u4 { u4 s$1 }" refer to the first u4 (scope is the entire read session) or...
