+====== Quirks in mIRC ======
+This page is meant to be an unnordered placeholder for all the little quirks in mIRC that either need little explanation or still warrant an in depth explanation.
+===== Weird $eval behaviour =====
+When $eval() or $() is used to evaluate text that is just either "{" or "}", and N is a number greater than 0 and less than 4294967296, then $eval() returns N-1. Otherwise, $eval() returns text.
+  alias test {
+    var %e = 8
+      while (%e) {
+        echo -s Number: %e
+        %e = $({,%e)
+      }
+    }
+  }
+(Note: There is some odd behavior for numbers greater than 4294967296, but they have not been explored in depth yet.)
+===== $* =====
+$* appears to store the raw data as `~$*
+  alias test {
+    tokenize 32 1 2 3 4
+    echo $left($*,1) $left($*,2) $left($*,3) $left($*,4) $right($*,1) $right($*,2) $right($*,3) $right($*,4) `~$*
+  }
+This returns:
+  ` `~ `~$ 1 * $* ~$* 1 1
+  ` `~ `~$ 2 * $* ~$* 2 2
+  ` `~ `~$ 3 * $* ~$* 3 3
+  ` `~ `~$ 4 * $* ~$* 4 4
+Furthermore, $* will only evaluate correctly when it is evaluated last. One way around this is to use brackets.
