One major problem involves the use of erc-response as a struct.  What
would be the best way of dealing with this?  Something non-invasive
and easy (but that doesn't require 'cl) is preferable.

For the sake of comparison, here are the ways that our IRC neighbours
pass this data, in brief.

rcirc does something like the following.

(funcall handler process sender args text), called from the filter
function.

Circe does the following, also called from the filter function.

(run-hook-with-args 'circe-receive-message-functions
                    nick user host command args)
