Code fences, sane identity management.

The linked post explicitly mentions that code fences are downgraded to a "long message" link. Note that I've used a word "downgrade", because I don't think it is a good solution. Anything unable to tie additional data for a message to the message itself is not good, in my opinion.

I don't understand why people bring up identity management in IRC like it's a problem. No one has issues with this.

Why'd you change your Hacker News username?
