======Synopsis:======
$__ischanop__(<nick> <channel>)

======Technical:======
   * If the <nick> argument is omitted, the empty string is returned.
   * If the <channel> argument is omitted, or if it is a literal star ('*'), then the current channel is assumed.  
   * BEWARE -- if you are connected to more than one server and the current window is connected to a different server than whatever context this function is called in, it may falsely return 0.  To be sure, always specify the channel name!
   * This function returns 1 if <nick> is a channel operator on <channel>.
   * This function uses the internal channel cache:
     * Both you and <nick> must be on <channel> or it will return 0.
     * If /on channel_sync has not been thrown for <channel> it may return 0.

======Practical:======
Many scripts try to avoid giving channel operator status (+o) to those
who already have it (to save bandwidth).  You can use this function to 
see if someone is a channel operator as a condition of some other action.

======Returns:======
| 1  | <nick> is a channel operator on <channel>                                    |
| 0  | <nick> is not a channel operator on <channel>                                |
