Commentary

The builtin `rcirc-track-minor-mode' provides a way to be informed when your
nick was mentioned in some channel and provides key bindings to quickly jump
to that channel.  But what if you cannot interact immediately?  That's where
`rcirc's mentions buffer comes into play.

When you activate `rcirc-mentions-log-mode' in channel buffers (or
`rcirc-mentions-global-log-mode'), all mentions of your nick or a keyword in
`rcirc-keywords' will be collected in a buffer named `*rcirc mentions*'
(customizable by `rcirc-mentions-buffer-name').  Those log entries have a
timestamp, the text of the message containing the mention, and most
importantly, they contain a clickable link to the location of the original
mention in some channel buffer.  That way, you have a logbook of the most
important events in one central place.

You can quickly switch to the mentions buffer from rcirc buffers where
`rcirc-mentions-log-mode' is active using
`rcirc-mentions-switch-to-mentions-buffer'.  The default binding is `C-c
C-.', the keymap is `rcirc-mentions-log-mode-map'.

The mentions buffer uses a separate major mode,
`rcirc-mentions-buffer-mode', which provides some navigation commands, e.g.,
`rcirc-mentions-next' (`n') to move to the next mention, and
`rcirc-mentions-prev' (`p') to move to the previous mention.
