+[[bind]] <key> stop_irc
+======Description:======
+Send a SIGTSTP signal to the client, which will return you to your shell.
+This was an important feature in the days before GNU Screen, when you could
+only log into a server once, and you might need to step away from IRC and
+do something else for a moment.
+Nobody uses this feature any more, except by mistake (when they accidentally hit ^Z).
+I bet nobody has intentionally used this feature in 20 years.
+If you accidentally invoke this keybinding, type 'fg' to resume.  If you stay away
+for too long, you will get disconnected from all your servers!
