 +======Synopsis:======
 +$__irclib__()
 +
 +======Technical:======
 +This function returns the path to the irc library that the client is currently
 +using.  This value is set at client boot time and does not change afterwards.
 +The irc library path influences the default values of /[[SET]] [[set
 +LOAD_PATH|LOAD_PATH]] and /[[SET]] [[set HELP_PATH|HELP_PATH]].
 +
 +======Practical:======
 +The user is able to override the default path used by /[[LOAD]] and /[[HELP]],
 +but with this function, you can usually find the "stock" versions of scripts or
 +help files, if you wanted to load those instead.  This value can be changed by
 +the user by setting the IRCPATH environment variable at client-boot time, so it
 +is not entirely trustworthy.  There is no way to get the client's compiled-in
 +default path.
 +
 +======Examples:======
 +<file>
 +load $irclib()/script/motd                  /* loads the "motd" script */
 +</file>
