You shouldn't use that function. It's really low-level API. It creates the
structure to hold the connection, but it doesn't actually connect.
It's only useful if you want to do some funky magic with connections.
Unfortunately, there is no proper Perl API to just connect, so you have to
use the command interface, just like a user would do:
Irssi::command("connect ...");
