+======Synopsis:======
+$__outputinfo__()
+======Technical:======
+   * This function does not take any arguments; they are ignored.
+   * The return value is the current output display context
+   * The current output display context is the mechanism by which the program figures out what window output should go to.
+   * Throughout the entire client, the tuple (server refnum, lastlog level) can map to only one window (but perhaps not to any window).
+   * The current output display context is composed of two pieces of information:
+   * The current lastlog level
+   * The current target (nickname or channel)
+   * The current display target may not always be set
+   * The return value is the current output display context either as one word (if the current target is unset) or two words (if the current target is set)
+======Practical:======
+If the current target is set, then you could use $[[querywin]]() or
+$[[chanwin]]() to figure out where an /[[echo]] would go.  If the current
+target is not set, then you could use $[[levelwindow]]() to figure out
+where an /[[echo]] would go.  But in either case, these two pieces of
+information are all you need to know to figure out where an /echo
+would send its output.
+======Returns:======
+The current output display context, comprised of the current lastlog
+level and optionally the current target.
+======Examples:======
+<file>
+on msg "hop *" { eval echo $outputinfo() }
+       Outputs "MSGS hop" because this is
+       a MSGS and it is from hop
+on public "% #epic *" { eval echo $outputinfo() }
+       Outputs "PUBLIC #epic" beacuse this
+       is a PUBLIC and it is to #epic.
+on 432 * { eval echo $outputinfo() }
+       Outputs "CRAP" because this is a
+       miscelaneous message and is not
+       related to a channel or other user.
+</file>
+======History:======
+This function first appeared in EPIC4-1.1.12
