[Erc-help] [devel] RFC on timestamping

[Mario L. <ml...@de...>]

Hello.

Currently, we have timestamping spread out through the whole erc.el.

I was thinking about some things, and I would like to get feedback
from people who actually already hacked timestamping, or have in any other
way contact with the relevant code:

Shouldn't it be possible to do all timestamp inserting from one
of the insert hooks.

Either the modify hook, or erc-insert-post-hook.

That would allow for different ways of timestamping, either prefix, or postfix,
or any other way.

The ultimate goal would be to get all timestamping out of erc.el
into say, erc-stamp.el. And do all the things via hooks.

Any ideas? Any comments? Is there something which prevents this?
Does someone want to do it? If not, I will try.
