This specification adds a new message tag sent by clients and repeated by servers to correlate responses with a specific request.
Motivation
Certain client actions can result in responses from the server that vary in interpretation depending on how they were triggered, or otherwise lack a robust way to correlate with local state. Clients have historically needed to keep track of additional local state and/or apply comparison heuristics to server responses to correlate these appropriately.
Labeled responses enable a much simpler form of correlation by using a single id attached to a client request and repeated by the server in its response.
Additionally, labeled responses allow bouncers with multiple connected clients to direct responses (such as WHOIS queries or error messages, see examples) to the correct recipient.
Once support is added, the IRCv3 Library Support page needs to be updated to include these features.
