It doesn't work consistently (unless you run it in the debugger). I think irssi is unhappy about getpass() just hanging the input (which it does) and sometimes interrupts it with signals (or something..) and getpass() silently returns blank, which makes OpenSSL unhappy.

i.e. it needs a lot more work, probably involving stealing the password prompt code from cmd_oper, which involves another layer of callbacks and blah blah blah. Going to take me a while to get re-motivated.
