Motivation

Relaying code between IRC and Discord has always been a pain with the JS bridge, so I'd like to propose another way of handling this.

Discord -> IRC

When a codeblocked message is sent in a Discord channel, the bridge removes the leading and trailing backticks (`) and sends the message, line by line, to IRC. This should be optional in the config, because the members have to be trusted not to spam the IRC channel.

IRC -> Discord

When a message in IRC starts with whitespace, the bridge wraps the message in single backticks (`) to prevent Discord from doing the usual whitespace trim. It also compresses text visually, making it easier to see.
