+III. Numerics used by IRC+ Protocol
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The IRC+ protocol uses numerics in the range 800-899 which aren't used by
+RFC 2812 and hopefully don't clash with other implementations ...
+
+Numerics 800-849 are used for status and success messages, and numerics
+850-899 are failure and error messages.
