 +======Technical:======
 +   * $ignorectl(REFNUMS) \\ Return all integer refnums for all active ignores.
 +   * $ignorectl(REFNUM <ignore-pattern>) \\ Given an exact ignore pattern, return that ignore's refnum. 
 +   * $ignorectl(ADD <ignore-pattern> [level-desc]) \\ Add a new ignore, ala /IGNORE <ignore-pattern> <level-desc> and return the refnum for the new ignore.  <ignore-pattern> is taken literally and should not contain spaces or commas.
 +   * $ignorectl(CHANGE <refnum> [level-desc]) \\ Change the <refnum> ignore by adding or subtracting levels as indicated by [level-desc].  If <refnum> is not a number or does not represent a valid ignore, the empty string is returned.  Otherwise, <refnum> is returned.
 +   * $ignorectl(DELETE <refnum|wildcard-pattern|exact match>) \\ Ignores can be removed by REFNUM, a wildcard pattern, or an exact match. 
 +   * $ignorectl(PATTERN <wildcard pattern>) \\ The effect of $igmask(<wildcard pattern>): treating each ignore pattern as a literal string, return all refnums whose ignore masks are matched by the <wildcard pattern>.
 +   * $ignorectl(RPATTERN <nick!user@host>) \\ The effect of $rigmask(<nick!user@host>): treating the argument as a nick!user@host string, return all refnums whose ignore masks match the nick!user@host string, that is, each ignore which would "cover" the nick!user@host.
 +   * $ignorectl(WITH_TYPES [level-desc]) \\ The effect of $rigtype([level-desc]): return the refnums of all ignores which contain at least all of the levels indicated.  It is possible for an ignore to have MORE levels set, but of those levels which are requested, all of them must be present.
 +   * $ignorectl(GET <refnum> NICK) \\ Return the ignore-pattern for the ignore refnum
 +   * $ignorectl(GET <refnum> LEVELS) \\ Like $[[igtype]](), but better: return a space separated list of all of the ignore levels that are active for this ignore, each level prefixed with exactly one character which indicates that level's disposition:
 +     * /<level>        Suppressive ignore
 +     * +<level>        Highlight ignore
 +     * ^<level>        Exceptive ignore
 +   * $ignorectl(GET <refnum> SUPPRESS) \\ Return an integer value that contains a bitwise representation of all of the suppressed levels for this ignore.  The exact layout of this value is epic-version-dependant and may change in the future.  If you use this value in a script, make sure you are using a layout compatable with the version of epic the user is using.
 +   * $ignorectl(GET <refnum> EXCEPT) \\ Return an integer value that contains a bitwise representation of all of the excepted levels for this ignore.  See above for warning about trying to use this value.
 +   * $ignorectl(GET <refnum> HIGHLIGHT) \\ Return an integer value that contains a bitwise representation of all of the highlighted levels for this ignore.  See above for warning about trying to use this value.
 +   * $ignorectl(GET <refnum> EXPIRATION) \\ Return the time the ignore is to expire as two integers. The first integer is the seconds and the second number is the milliseconds.  This is the same format that $[[utime function|utime]]() uses.  If the ignore does not expire, both values are 0.
 +   * $ignorectl(GET <refnum> REASON) \\ Return the reason the user set the ignore, if any.
 +   * $ignorectl(GET <refnum> CREATION) \\ Return the $[[utime function|utime]]() when the ignore was created.
 +   * $ignorectl(GET <refnum> LAST_USED) \\ Return the last $[[utime function|utime]]() the ignore was used (triggered).
 +   * $ignorectl(GET <refnum> COUNTER) \\ Return the number of times the ignore has been used (triggered).
 +   * $ignorectl(SET <refnum> NICK <ignore-pattern>) \\ Set the ignore-pattern for the ignore refnum. \\ **WARNING** The ignore list is usually sorted, and changing this value may de-sort the ignore list.  The result of this is uncertain and could destabilize epic.  It is probably not a good idea to change an ignore's pattern.  The ignore's refnum is returned.
 +   * $ignorectl(SET <refnum> LEVELS <level-desc>) \\ Unconditionally set the ignore levels to <level-desc>.  All levels previously in use are cleared and replaced with the new levels.  You should prefix each level with one character to indicate it's disposition:
 +     * /<level>        Suppressive ignore
 +     * +<level>        Highlight ignore
 +     * ^<level>        Exceptive ignore
 +     * The ignore's refnum is returned.
 +   * $ignorectl(SET <refnum> SUPPRESS <integer>) \\ Unconditionally set the integer value corresopnding to the suppressive ignores for this ignore item. \\ **WARNING** The exact layout of this value is version dependant on epic and may change in the future, so changing this value directly like this could corrupt the ignore if you don't know what version of epic you are using.  You Have Been Warned. The ignore's refnum is returned.
 +   * $ignorectl(SET <refnum> EXCEPT <integer>) \\ Unconditionally set the integer value corresopnding to the exceptive ignores for this ignore item.  See above warning The ignore's refnum is returned.
 +   * $ignorectl(SET <refnum> HIGHLIGHT <integer>) \\ Unconditionally set the integer value corresopnding to the highlighted ignores for this ignore item.  See above warning The ignore's refnum is returned.
 +   * $ignorectl(SET <refnum> EXPIRATION <seconds> <milliseconds>) \\ Set the $[[utime function|utime]]() the ignore shall expire.  This is not an interval, but rather an absolute $[[utime function|utime]]() value.  If you set both values to 0, the ignore will not expire.  The ignore's refnum is returned.
 +   * $ignorectl(SET <refnum> REASON [reason]) \\ Set the reason the user set the ignore.  The return value is the reason. If no reason is given, the ignore's reason is removed.  The ignore's refnum is returned.
 +   * $ignorectl(SET <refnum> CREATION <seconds> <milliseconds>) \\ Set the $[[utime function|utime]]() the ignore was created.  Why would you want to change this?  Well, whatever.  The ignore's refnum is returned.
 +   * $ignorectl(SET <refnum> LAST_USED <seconds> <milliseconds>) \\ Set the $[[utime function|utime]]() the ignore was last used (triggered).  The ignore's refnum is returned.
 +   * $ignorectl(SET <refnum> COUNTER <number>) \\ Set the number of times the ignore has been used (triggered).  This is probably only useful if you want to reset it to 0 to see if an ignore is still being triggered (or not).  The ignore's refnum is returned.
