[Erc-help] thoughts on customization.

[<sm...@wa...>]

"I hate following up to myself but here goes.."

mhp/#emacs mentioned that he would like to see a defcustom for
/notice's doing an auto-query.  Now, generalizing this concept, it
might be nice to have a defcustom, to control the behaviour of:

- the creation of a new channel
- the info buffer created along with that
- incoming ctcp messages
- incoming server messages
- private messages
- notices
- ...

There already is erc-join-buffer and erc-auto-query.  Is it preferable
to have fifty seperate options, or is it better to have only one?

Another thing that's bothering me is how to make certain format
strings easier to customize.  For instance, I would like actions to
look like this

<12:43> * Harry says she is a woman.

Currently the action seperator is placed _after_ the nick, whereas I
would like one _in front_ of the nick.  Adding another action
seperator defcustom would bloat things, and it wouldn't be flexible
either.  Any suggestions?
