[peter green]

a normal ctcp has both the first and last char as #1

how about in dcc2 cpcps using the last char to differentiate between
requests and replys

Well, 0x02 is bold, 0x03 is kholour, 0x04 is RGB color... there are many
free codes, but I'm reluctant to assign a new control character that
will only be meaningful in DCC Chat.

We could use a naming convention to distinguish CTCP requests and
responses in general. Perhaps NAME-Q and NAME-A (question and answer)?
