for configuration files, event handler to handle the client/server
connection, code to introspect modules for commands, deferred
exception handling to not crash on an error, a parser to parse
commandline options and values, etc.

OPD provides a demo bot, it can connect to IRC, fetch and
display RSS feeds, take todo notes, keep a shopping list
and log text. You can also copy/paste the service file and run
it under systemd for 24/7 presence in a IRC channel.
