Incoming MODE processing is split into a parsing step and an execution
step, instead of a mode's effector function being involved in its own
parsing. Modes can no longer use custom logic to control their parsing,
and instead supply a combination of CHM_* flags to the parser. As a
result, we know before we try to effect any mode changes what all of
them will be.
The reauthorize hack for override is no longer necessary. A side effect
of its introduction was that `MODE #foo b x!y@z` no longer worked; in
removing it we restore that behaviour.
We gain the ability to reject various invalid inputs that:
- mutate or query unknown modes
- supply excess mode arguments
- query modes that can't be queried
In each case, whether we *should* reject it is an open question; for now
I'm rejecting the first one.
Previously, anyone on the WEBIRC gateway would get its ident if it
advertised one, which seems wrong to me.
This allows ident to be used with WEBIRC while still letting users send
their own ~username in band.
I'm preparing to PR a succession of privs changes with the ultimate goal
of severely limiting the scope of the binary oper/user dichotomy and
move conceptually distinct oper functions into their own privs.
Accomplishing this is a non-trivial task, and can wait, but it's
inconvenient now to have such functions enabled by the same mechanism
that grants any privs at all--so I'm moving all of them to a
transitional priv with the intention of eroding that later.
The existing approach to invite-notify is deeply flawed--it currently
notifies only the target user's server, and that can't be fixed without
sending notifies for invites that end up not happening.
I'm resolving this by broadcasting a second message, INVITED, from the
target user's server. I'm also pulling it out into an extension while
I'm at it--invite notifies reveal new information, so I don't think
they should be mandatory.
I had the idea that maybe these should be case-sensitive because some
encodings (like Base-64) are. But it turns out it's better to
prioritise not breaking existing configurations / channel mode lists,
and just revisit this in future maybe.
