+======Synopsis======
+$__chops__(<channel>)
+======Technical:======
+   * If the <channel> argument is omitted, the current window's current channel is used.  THIS IS NOT NECCESARILY THE CORRECT CHANNEL IN AN /ON!
+   * If the <channel> argument is the literal star character (``*''), the current window's current channel is used.  THIS IS NOT NECCESARILY THE CORRECT CHANNEL IN AN /[[ON]]!
+   * This function returns the channel operators on the specified channel.
+   * You must be on the channel; the empty string is returned if you are not.
+   * Before /[[ON CHANNEL_SYNC]] is thrown, this function may return the empty string (because EPIC does not know who are the channel operators yet.)
+   * A design defect in the historical server implementation may cause truncated nicknames to be included in the list.  The client corrects these truncated nicknames by watching the WHO reply.  Before /[[ON CHANNEL_SYNC]] is thrown, truncated nicknames may be included in this list.
+   * In general you cannot use this function in a status_format.
+======Practical:======
+The most common use of $[[chops]]() is to send a message to all the channel
+operators.  You can use /[[FE]] to break up the list into groups that won't
+offend your server, and use $[[sar]]() to convert the spaces into commas.
+======Returns:======
+The channel operators on the specified channel.  You must be on the channel.
+Before /[[ON CHANNEL_SYNC]], this function may return the empty string, or a
+list with truncated nicknames.
+======Examples:======
+<file>
+$chops(#foo)             shows operators on channel #foo
+$chops(*)                shows channel operators on current channel
+$chops()                 shows channel operators on current channel
+</file>
+======History:======
+This function first appeared in "+3" (post-ircII, pre-EPIC).  Support
+for the default argument and for "*" first appeared in "+4".
