It works well, except when zenirc [info] contains single instances of " embedded in escape sequences (for Japanese text).

Have you got time to do the patch, Adrian? SY> Or should I add it to my own TODO list? Perhaps we should take a step back an as ourselves what the right thing to do is? Take out the quotes here, or add quotes to messages printing path names? We should make the quotes consistent though. `' seem better because they distinguish beginning and end of the quote.
