+======Synopsis:======
+__topic__       (to query topic in current channel) \\
+__topic__ <channel>     (to query topic in stated channel) \\
+__topic__ -       (to unset topic in current channel) \\
+__topic__ -<channel>      (to unset topic in stated channel) \\
+__topic__ <new topic>   (to set topic in current channel) \\
+__topic__ <channel> <new topic> (to set topic in stated channel)
+======Description:======
+Each irc channel may have a "topic of discussion" which is displayed
+to new channel members when they join.  The "topic" may be anything
+at all, it does not have to actually be the topic of discussion.
+The first two usage forms query the topic for a channel; generally you
+must be a member of a channel to query that channel's topic.
+The second two usage forms unset the topic for a channel; this is
+nothing more than setting the topic of a channel to the empty string.
+The channel "has no topic" after the topic is unset.
+The last two usage forms set the topic for a channel.
+The maximum length of channel topics is a server setting and as such,
+varies from server to server.  A common limit is 80 characters.
+If a channel has mode +t set, you must be a channel operator to set or
+unset the channel topic.  All channel members can query the topic of a
+channel at all times.
+Networks that support the TS (TimeStamp) protocol or TS-workalikes keep
+the nick!user@host of the person who set the topic, and the time that
+the topic was set.  This is provided in a 333 server numeric.
+======Examples:======
+To set a new topic on your channel:
+      /topic #blah Welcome to #blah, a very serious channel.
+      or
+      /topic Welcome to #blah, a very serious channel.
+To view the current topic for your channel:
+      /topic #blah
+      or
+      /topic
+To unset the topic for your channel:
+      /topic -#blah
+      or
+      /topic -
