Remarks
This method sends the IDLE command to the server and begins idling. As responses are received from the server the on_idle_info event fires. To stop idling call stop_idle.
If the class is being used in a formless application (such as a console application) be sure to call do_events in a loop after calling this method to make sure incoming events are processed.
