[Erc-help] case-sensitive ctcp messages

[Brian P. <bp...@re...>]

I got a bug report about having to do a /ctcp nick VERSION instead of
/ctcp nick version (and similar).  Apparently other clients (such as
bitchx) automatically upcase the ctcp command. It's not clear to me
that is a technically correct thing to do, looking at the various
specs on irchelp, but it certainly strikes me as more convention, and
the likelihood that someone would expect 'version' to do something
other than 'VERSION' strikes me as low.


I'm proposing the below patch. Feedback would be welcome; otherwise
I'll commmit it soon.

I'm awfully glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard.
