There are two main use cases for Close() on a MUC not actually leaving
the room:

• If Empathy crashes, MC calls Close() on all channels it was handling. I'd rather not leave all the channels on my IRC proxy when that happens. (This is Idle bug #24273.)
• Marco is in an XMPP MUC with three of his friends, who sporadically discuss Aqua. He doesn't want to have the conversation window open constantly, cluttering his desktop, but wants to be in the room in case someone says something.

If we make Close() not actually leave the room (depending on
RemoveMembers() for that) it needs to be opt-in until Telepathy 1.0. Rob
suggests adding a property for this behaviour which could be requested,
or set by the handler.

Another case where it is useful, and already implemented, are Skype chats.
How about an interface, providing a (requestable) property like "LeaveWhenClosed" and method Leave? In Maemo, we have the latter for Skype-specific chat add-ons interface.

That means the channel requester has to know whether the handler
supports this new method. I wonder whether we could use
<http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/spec/Client_Handler.html#org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.Handler.Capabilities>
for this? Technically it's imperfect, because if you have two handlers
installed—one with and one without this feature—the CM can't tell them
apart. But it might be good enough.
