Description
Expensive commands (such as JOIN, WHO and LIST) are often rate-limited in other large ircds (e.g. solanum). It would be nice to have a general way to rate-limit clients in sable and have this integrate into the command-handler codegen.

Research direction
Start by tracing the command-handler code generation and the handling of the expensive JOIN, WHO, and LIST commands. Define how a general client rate limit should integrate with generated command handlers, then verify that the design covers these commands and other potentially expensive operations.
