Don't use a fixed, but arbitrary, output format. Consider outputting result as JSON as input for a templating engine.

Additional statistics: Log coverage (visualization?), inter-nick highlight frequencies (graph with nicks as nodes?)

Currently, merging n logs is often done by concatenating all of them,
sorting the whole thing, then deduplicating everything.

This is functional, but inefficient and not very pretty.

Most of the time, all these logs are individually sorted, and we're only
sorting them again because there's no proper merge operation
implemented.

Ideally, ilc can merge n logs in a single pass with constant memory usage.

Currently, only compilation is tested, but after the refactoring features should be easier to test

Sample logs might have to be produced for each format.

Refactoring energymech and weechat to not use slice_patterns would be enough to use stable and avoid clap-rs compilation catastrophes

Add Cap'n Proto based encoding/decoding functionality.

Space efficiency is a non-goal.
Serialization/deserialization speed, as well as the lossless encoding of the events are goals.

JSONL is well-suited to being processed by other tools, and should be comparatively easy to implement with serde.

WIP in formats/irssi

Currently a lot of recompilation is required in order to use anything. This is unacceptable and should be changed.
