Synopsis:
$ischannel(<channel name>)
Technical:
This function checks whether the input channel name is a valid channel
name. It does NOT check whether the channel actually exists, only that
the name would be legal to use as a channel name.
Practical:
This function compares the given channel name against the known server
rules for channel names to determine if the server is likely to allow
a channel with such a name. Contrary to common belief, it does not
check for the existence of a channel.
Returns:
"true" value if channel name is legal, "false" otherwise
Examples:
$ischannel(#blah) returns true
$ischannel(&blah) returns true
$ischannel(blah) returns false

Bugs:
This function does not take ircd 2.9's modeless channels (prefixed with
a '+') into account when determining the legality of a channel name.
