Sorry, it looks like my patch queue got corrupted. I'll have it
fixed once I've had some coffee. As for the point of the change,
it's basically so that wmiirc.local can be written something
like this,

     wi_events <<!
     Key foo
         ...
     !
     
     # ...
     
     wi_events <<!
     Event bar
         ...
     !

rather than,

     local_events() {
         cat <<!
     Key foo
         ...
     Event bar
         ...
     !
     }

Oh. I haven't done a full upgrade in a while. That's a change I
certainly didn't expect any time soon.

Thanks. Easy fix.
