+  concerned IRC server.  The provided configuration form contains these
+  fields:
+    * Realname: The customized “real name” as it will appear on the
+      user’s whois. This option is not available if biboumi is configured
+      with realname_customization to false.
+    * Username: The “user” part in your `user@host`. This option is not
+      available if biboumi is configured with realname_customization to
+      false.
+    * In encoding: The incoming encoding. Any received message that is not
+      proper UTF-8 will be converted will be converted from the configured
+      In encoding into UTF-8. If the conversion fails at some point, some
+      characters will be replaced by the placeholders.
+    * Out encoding: Currently ignored.
+    * After-connection IRC command: A raw IRC command that will be sent to
+      the server immediately after the connection has been successful. It
+      can for example be used to identify yourself using NickServ, with a
+      command like this: `PRIVMSG NickServ :identify PASSWORD`.
+    * Ports: The list of TCP ports to use when connecting to this IRC server.
+      This list will be tried in sequence, until the connection succeeds for
+      one of them. The connection made on these ports will not use TLS, the
+      communication will be insecure. The default list contains 6697 and 6670.
+    * TLS ports: A second list of ports to try when connecting to the IRC
+      server. The only difference is that TLS will be used if the connection
+      is established on one of these ports. All the ports in this list will
+      be tried before using the other plain-text ports list. To entirely
+      disable any non-TLS connection, just remove all the values from the
+      “normal” ports list. The default list contains 6697.
+    * Verify certificate: If set to true (the default value), when connecting
+      on a TLS port, the connection will be aborted if the certificate is
+      not valid (for example if it’s not signed by a known authority, or if
+      the domain name doesn’t match, etc). Set it to false if you want to
+      connect on a server with a self-signed certificate.
+    * SHA-1 fingerprint of the TLS certificate to trust: if you know the hash
+      of the certificate that the server is supposed to use, and you only want
+      to accept this one, set its SHA-1 hash in this field.
+    * Server password: A password that will be sent just after the connection,
+      in a PASS command. This is usually used in private servers, where you’re
+      only allowed to connect if you have the password. Note that, although
+      this is NOT a password that will be sent to NickServ (or some author
+      authentication service), some server (notably Freenode) use it as if it
+      was sent to NickServ to identify your nickname.
