vim: expandtab sw=2 ts=2

- add (optional) timeout for wait_for_hidden_host

- ability for modules to register additional sockets to monitor
  - this is basically done but needs more testing on non-TCP and error conditions
    the module interface should probably be simplified too
  - also FDs so the bot can monitor a pipe
    - add a pipe which allows to input commands even when IRC connection is gone
      this might be difficult since there won't be a bot or user or chan object...

- add optional message wrapping in the core (instead of just truncation)

- implement timers in the core and/or modlib, by adjusting the select timeout whenever a timer is pending.
  call timers as part of the event loop.
  this has the potential to remove a LOT of the threading.

- fix crash when joining a channel that is forwarded (or otherwise force-joined by the server)

- fix urls:
  - disallow private addresses as much as possible
  - add a time limit if possible

- add module with !join / !part / is there clevel management? etc

- add SQL "migrations" support to core for modules
  and store module data in SQL instead of json's

- better config... or better yet just move non-DB-related config into the database
  - needs a better format if its used for generic module data; particularly because /\s#/ starts a comment instead of naming a channel
  - needs to retain comments when config file is saved

- a module for administering channel users (copy from admin_user) and adding/removing channels

- modlib function for parsing option arguments (like !MODLOAD has now)

- modlib 'onload' hook so modules can easily do stuff on loading
  (if this exists use it to replace _key() in steam.py)

- modlib 'need_config' function to tell the modlib you refuse to start without
  a config value being specified

- add new hook types
  - 'regexhook' for watching messages matching a regex
    (should this be supported in core or
    just by modlib translating into a numhook('PRIVMSG')?)
  - 'msghook' for watching all messages (like numhook('PRIVMSG') but
    you don't have to handle parsing)
  - add a way to specify a config value as a hook parameter without needing
    parent (i.e. delayed resolution)

- weather module using accuweather API, forecasts

- fix softdeps, if they're used through lib.mod() or parent.module() they break, need a `'mod' in modules` check somewhere

- ctlmod.unload: track what modules are unloaded and return that info to caller

- lookup User object by auth
  modules should be able to (attempt to) look up a User object by auth, that way if the user is online
  !clevel and !glevel can look up their existing object and adjust the permissions there

- sockets module: wrapping should operate on byte-level not string-level
  sentences with unicode text get wrapped wrong
  ... but the wrapping point needs to be determined at the string-level ugh
