I think the likely issue with that suggestion is that mIRC would look too much "like a script". That is often an argument. Things like away systems or built-in mp3 systems have not been incorporated into mIRC quite possibly because mIRC would just not look very good, and besides, their so easily obtained from scripting websites there'd be little point in doing it, and at the same time, making mIRC look like a script itself rather than a client.
As
this thread says, it's unlikely something will be incorporated if easily scripted. Not to say it won't happen, just unlikely. This look is easily obtained with existing DLLs and, even though not easily scripted, is easily incorporated from the hard work of others, and their generosity in letting "the public" use their work.
Personally I have no qualms with it being in mIRC as an option, I'd dislike it very much to be the default option.
