I think you are right.

Is there a way to do ratelimit counting but make it return true, so
entire acl will fire?

Then my log_message should end up being logged (since it is supposed to
be "I counted here" type of message).


Have to still check what happens if connection is interrupted before acl
finishes (according to irc conversations acl won't finish then and
log_message won't get logged)
