Hi I was wondering, if the IRC server its connecting to has a password. How would i go about getting it to connect? Thanks

Currently there isn't any support for server passwords, I've thought about adding it in the past but wasn't sure how to name the parameter to avoid it getting confused with ns_identity and I haven't really used it with password-protected IRC servers.

@luk3yx Hi. I'd like to follow up in this regard to this issue of supporting a server password. I started testing a miniircd server which allows for a server password.

If I don't have a server password, my server is wide open to anyone which is a security risk. It would be great if miniirc can support sending it. I don't care what the kwarg would be called, but server_password (str) or server_identity (tuple of str) could be fine.
