Ideally Emacs's builtin =sasl.el= should be reused; that would let ERC
support better SASL mechanisms than =PLAIN=.
+**** TODO Make timestamps robust vs window width changes
+The =:align-to= spec for right timestamps inserts a fixed number of
+spaces, so resizing windows messes up their display. Eg. moving a
+frame from one monitor to a smaller one, lines get wrapped
+unnecessarily.
+
+Don't know if the solution lies in (1) using one of the more
+sophisticated forms of =:align-to= as shown in [[info:elisp#Pixel Specification][(elisp) Pixel
+Specification]], (2) iterating over stamps on window-configuration
+changes and updating their spec (3) just stop using right-aligned
+stamps on the same line as messages.
+
+(2) would not handle a buffer being shown in two windows with
+different widths; (1) and (2) would not handle the window becoming too
+narrow and requiring splitting the stamp from its message. So leaning
+toward (3).
+**** TODO Play well with whitespace-mode
+Last I checked, turning on whitespace-mode… hm. That entry dates from
+4 years ago. Probably it broke ERC? 🤷
