Patches on IRC rather suck for discussion:
-no permanent record of suggestions
(you have to be there/have a bot logging the channel...which is not
possible with an ephemeral connection like I have.)
-no public record
-render inline comments impractical
That said, IRC is great when you're asking about _revising_ a patch.

The way Debian's bug tracker works? or different?
And yes, you're right on the last count. The most feature-rich browser
I've gotten working on musl is dillo, but I prefer to just start
links. I'm a lot more likely to report issues while I'm running muslin
than under Ubuntu. ;)
