/**
 * PircBot is a Java framework for writing IRC bots quickly and easily.
 *  <p>
 * It provides an event-driven architecture to handle common IRC
 * events, flood protection, DCC support, ident support, and more.
 * The comprehensive logfile format is suitable for use with pisg to generate
 * channel statistics.
 *  <p>
 * Methods of the PircBot class can be called to send events to the IRC server
 * that it connects to.  For example, calling the sendMessage method will
 * send a message to a channel or user on the IRC server.  Multiple servers
 * can be supported using multiple instances of PircBot.
 *  <p>
 * To perform an action when the PircBot receives a normal message from the IRC
 * server, you would override the onMessage method defined in the PircBot
 * class.  All on<i>XYZ</i> methods in the PircBot class are automatically called
 * when the event <i>XYZ</i> happens, so you would override these if you wish
 * to do something when it does happen.
 *  <p>
 * Some event methods, such as onPing, should only really perform a specific
 * function (i.e. respond to a PING from the server).  For your convenience, such
 * methods are already correctly implemented in the PircBot and should not
 * normally need to be overridden.  Please read the full documentation for each
 * method to see which ones are already implemented by the PircBot class.
 *  <p>
 * Please visit the PircBot homepage at
 * <a href="http://www.jibble.org/pircbot.php">http://www.jibble.org/pircbot.php</a>
 * for full revision history, a beginners guide to creating your first PircBot
 * and a list of some existing Java IRC bots and clients that use the PircBot
 * framework.

     * Disposes of all thread resources used by this PircBot. This may be
     * useful when writing bots or clients that use multiple servers (and
     * therefore multiple PircBot instances) or when integrating a PircBot
     * with an existing program.
     *  <p>
     * Each PircBot runs its own threads for dispatching messages from its
     * outgoing message queue and receiving messages from the server.
     * Calling dispose() ensures that these threads are
     * stopped, thus freeing up system resources and allowing the PircBot
     * object to be garbage collected if there are no other references to
     * it.
     *  <p>
     * Once a PircBot object has been disposed, it should not be used again.
     * Attempting to use a PircBot that has been disposed may result in
     * unpredictable behaviour.
