Please consider publishing the irc-proto crate

[belak]

I've been working on building an IRC bot and ended up implementing my own IRC library, since it looked like this had a bunch of dependencies. It looks like the irc-proto crate exists, but hasn't been published. Would you consider publishing a version so people can build off of it?

The main blocking factor here has been #32 (and the outstanding #179 PR which has stalled because I've been too busy to help drive it forward). I think it might be reasonable to cut a release of it earlier though, even before the 0.14 release (since I don't think it's actually likely to change much besides reducing allocations, especially not relative to the rest of the library).

I'd like to put in another vote for getting the async API published.
