I suppose freenode_login_script is something like
/j nickserv identify mypasswd
/j #channel-foo
/j #channel-bar
this works, but one must cat the file within the time limits
(freenode gives 30secs to auth before changing your nick)
getting that in a wrapper script that would start ii and then
wait and identify and join channels would solve that.

what's the difference between PASS and identify ?
both are used to register the user to the server.
afaict PASS is sent by the client before the nick/user is set
so when the user connects he's already registered.
afaik irssi doesnt do that, but provides "-autosendcmd"
I think PASS is good, having it removed wouldn't really gain
us much, nothing important in terms of loc and would have
to replace that functionality, that the irc protocol provides
with a delayed "/j nickserv identify ..." message.
which one is cleaner ?

I'm fine with that. that way one can have a strong passwd and
generate it on the fly, and pass it to ii, like:
$ echo "a.simple.secret.phrase" | base64 | ii -k -
and you can hide that from the shell history too
hmmm mm
