Unused Channels

What are all these unused channels at the end?

The channel numbers are indices into a bitmask. The bitmask is calculated as 

((INFO_TOTAL+31)/32)

where INFO_TOTAL is equal to the highest channel number, plus 1. The current highest channel number is 52, so INFO_TOTAL is 53, and this leads to a mask size of 2. This is the number of 32-bit words needed to store the channel mask, and so we currently have space for 64 channels in total. Note that channel 64 would cause INFO_TOTAL to be 65, triggering an increase in the bitmask to 3 words. Therefore, we can use 63 channels before we have to start looking into what happens if the bitmask becomes larger.

To actually use one of the unused channels, we will need to investigate how the channels work better. At bare minimum, we are going to need to add a slash command to the client, comms in both client and server to move the message around, and UI code in the client to add the channel to the interface and put it on a default tab.

Pseudo Channels

These seem to slot into the unused part of the bitmask. Is this coincidence, or do we need to expand the bitmask after all? Further investigation is needed. INFO_CHAT_TEXT is defined as INFO_TOTAL+1, so this enum dynamically shifts itself to the end of the channel list.
