AFAICT, the current implementation will leak memory (ie won't be garbage collected correctly) if users and channels are not removed (using remove-user and remove-channel) before all references to a connection object are lost/broken. In such cases, although nothing refers to the connection object anymore, the channel may still contain user objects and the users will still hold channel objects in their channel lists. In other words: they won't be gc-able.
Without knowing the internals of cl-irc...
If an object isn't reachable, it is garbage collected. Circular unreachable references are not a problem.
