Message:

More password paranoia: Allow omitting the identify/register password as
well (and enter it using /OPER instead).

This is a gross hack and indeed still not solid: In irssi one can still
use /RAWLOG SAVE to find the OPER line sent to BitlBee (and of course not
everyone uses SSL to talk to remote BitlBee servers). This only works
within 10-30 minutes after entering the password though.

    27                                         If you omit the password, you should use the IRC /OPER command to enter it separately. The advantage of this approach is that most IRC clients will not show OPER passwords on screen/save them in logs.
     27                                        You can omit the password and enter it separately using the IRC /OPER command. This lets you enter your password without your IRC client echoing it on screen or recording it in logs.
