Oops... C-c C-c was wrong in that case :)
Well, the problem is that a user does not have the slightest
possibility to see the announced server-name. So, they cannot set up
the variable correctly and will think my code is a bunch of crap.

I personally would like to see the server _I am_ connected to and not
the server I tried to connect to. I also found out that
irc.de.quakenet.org connects me to irc3.de.quakenet.org. It was only
my regexp that saved me in that case.

AFAIC displaying `erc-announced-server-name' in the modeline would be
a good solution. You can always look to which server you wanted to
connect by C-h v `erc-session-server'. No Information gets lost.

Bye. Adam.
