+======Synopsis:======
+[[set]] default_realname [<text>]
+======Description:======
+If set, the client will use the value of this variable as its IRCNAME
+when connecting to new servers.  The variable may be set to anything
+desired, including nothing.  If unset, the client will use the value
+in the environment variable IRCNAME, or failing that, the value in
+the user's GCOS field in the system password file.
+======Aliases:======
+Traditionally, the client has provided the realname command and this
+setting, but the realname command is obsolete and should not be used.
+======Other Notes:======
+The nature of irc servers is such that this information cannot be
+changed on the fly.  The client must establish a connection with a new
+server (or [[reconnect]] to the current one) for the setting to take
+effect.
+======History:======
+This first appeared in EPIC5-0.3.5.  Prior to this, it was called
+[[set realname]].
