Add support for simultaneous connections to more than one weechat

Open sleep-walker opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

When I try to connect to other instance of weechat, I'm asked whether the other connection should be replaced. If I refuse, no connection is made, if I agree, former connection is closed.

There should be no reason for this limitation.

Unfortunately I didn't think of multiple connections when writing weechat.el. This results in a fairly big "singleton" that holds the data of available channels, connection information, relevant buffers, etc.

Changing this would be quite a refactoring and I don't have plans to add this in the foreseeable future.

I'm happy to review any Pull Requests working in this direction.
