Anyhow the correct way to connect to a server and
register/auth to the services is two different things.
you need PASS to connect to servers that need it
you need "/j nickserv identify .." to register/auth
no matter if popular servers seem to "merge" this
that's the way it should be, there're not interchangeable
so I guess PASS is not going away
and the delayed identify should also take place
(except again in cases like connecting to freenode,
that make this optional if you send PASS).
PASS should be handled by the client (ii)
identify is something the user is responsible for.
_AT_Strake thanks for the patch.
'ii -j file' works fine, though 'ii -j -' doesnt seem so
