No link, but an example:
This is actually a clue showing the '=' was added after and that it wasn't added properly, that's why I recommend not using it, it can only lead to issues, while not using it cannot.
The help file being incomplete does not mean you should ignore it. I would suggest it is still better to use the documented syntax rather than undocumented.
That's really what I was talking about, people recommend using it because the help file recommends it, and yes, one should typically follow the help file, the problems start when the help file is actually misleading, that you should not be following it or it won't work properly, and the mIRC help file unfortunately has a lot of this.
