Yeah, you'll have to do something like:

rbalias cache_no_bans
{
...
}

on ^368 * cache_no_bans

I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work. But I've been focusing on
creating the patch, so I haven't had any time to rubify my irc script.
But that's next on my list. So maybe I'll notice some issues that will
have to be addressed then.

It doesn't leak now, but it never returns memory either :) It's because
all the different invocations of the ruby aliases are currently being
executed in the same scope/context so nothing every goes out of scope
and hence the ruby garbage collector never frees anything. But that
should be fixed in the next version of the patch. That will be ready in
a couple of days.

I've been using epic CVS for ages and I rarely have any problems. And
because that's what I'm currently using that is what the patch is
against. But I'll consider porting the patch to the latest production
release of epic then the patch has stabilized and is more ready.
