I'm looking forward to trying this out.

I've used 9irc for kicks, and it made me consider what a proper Plan 9
IRC interface might look like, and the closest I can envision (without
more caffeine) is an inverted sam interface, with a command window at
the bottom and multiple client streams in discrete windows above.  It
might provide a clean way to separate the messages to the server from
the data received, segregate private messages from the channels, etc.

Any commands (other than /server) would be directed at the server
associated with the active window.

Some clever plumbing, and you might just be able to use sam....
