It is much harder than it needs to be to handle errors

Having one generic event for all errors with both bot-issued commands and other error events makes that error handling function a mess of if/else blocks. It'd be really cool if node-irc supported the standard method of calling the callback function with an error object if something goes wrong with the command the bot just issued.

I agree, a single try catch is harder to troubleshoot than actually having error catching throughout every piece of functionality, any ideas on what structure, or how to implement this better?

Recommend we add the enhancement label.
