Well, I tried your function and it's better since it doesn't open a new
IRC connection each time as mine does... but it calls `erc-buffer-filter'
which isn't autoloaded: if the user customizes `url-irc-function' to
point to ERC but doesn't actually require erc in the startup files,
browsing doesn't work.  My function uses `erc-select', so it doesn't
have that problem.

I'm not a big fan of having require calls in functions...
