This contact can be used by the protocol to store additional information about
the account, including the user id, alias, etc. When the protocol connects, it
will be responsible for adding this contact to the ContactManager once it knows
that the id is correct.

This will also be used in the future when PurpleMessage gets migrated to using
PurpleContact's as well.

Connected an IRCv3 and demo accounts.

Would the private values that are bound from PurpleAccount eventually be removed and be made direct aliases for the PurpleContact …

...exposing it is more work...

Semi-unrelated, but is this wrong? It's two colons, and you've used a single colon for the new property.

    1. The intent I was aiming for, is that you would instead get the contact and then use that directly. There is also the option to make a PurpleContactable inteface or something, and both could implement that, but I think that's probably more trouble than it's worth?

    2. Sounds good.

    1. It was the missing 'is' here...

    1. per https://developer-old.gnome.org/gtk-doc-manual/stable/documenting_syntax.html.en, signals are supposed to have :: and properties just : however, there's been confusion on this forever, and our codebase is a total mess when it comes to this. We should probably go through and fix it all at some point.
