The will split English text at the boundary of 84 chars which seems
sub-optimal.

In the current implementation of rcirc-split-message, the inner loop
might not be run if the encoding is utf-8, which we can assume to be 90%
of the cases. So my suggestion is to leave it alone until we hit a real
case of inefficiency. What do you think?
