Description:
------------
The constructor of Net_SmartIRC calls ignore_user_abort(true), along with a number of other calls that modify PHP behaviour. This is undocumented, and can lead to unexpected results in scripts using it.
For example, writing a script for a web based IRC client, users persist indefinitely if they abort the script, tying up web server resources, and register_shutdown_function handlers are not called on terminate as would be expected by default.

Changed to Won't fix - if this isn't done we could end up with unexpected behavior.

Can you at least make this documented? This led me on quite the wild goose chase until I hunted it down.
