[Erc-help] Proposal: Leave a working prompt in disconnected server buffers

[Francis L. <fr...@wo...>]

There are several ERC commands that are usuable without an open server
connection: /SV, /SET, /CLEAR, /COUNTRY, /LASTLOG, and /CONNECT.

I'd like to propose leaving the prompt displayed (and usable) in an ERC
server buffer after disconnection.

In particular, I'm thinking of implementing a /RECONNECT command that
attempts to restore the most recent server connection in the current
server buffer, but without having a working prompt after disconnection,
it's hard to do.

Naturally, most commands that need a connection won't work in the server
buffer after disconnection, but that's already the case if you issue
those commands in a channel buffer after disconnection.

Comments?
