I'm asking because at the moment the script Peace and Protection (which is close to 18 years old and is a good thermometer for when mIRC changes), is firing on $numeric == 0 and not able to display raw away:*:{} or other raw <non-numeric> properly, resulting in strange output. It can be fixed in the PnP code, but I was thinking that if $numeric should be $null for non-numeric events, there wouldn't be an issue for me to report and I can leave the PnP code as it is.

for the curious:
