ircg_msg() will send the message
to a channel or user on the server connected to by connection. A
recipient starting with
# or will send the message to a channel, anything
else will be interpreted as a username.
Setting the optional parameter
suppress to a TRUE
value will suppress output of your message to your own connection. This so-called
loopback is necessary, because the IRC server does not echo
PRIVMSG commands back to us.
