Bad idea, BUT it is possible to make a "Chat" button on the main page of bitcoin.org (here).
Then a Java IRC client is on that page so people will not have to install a client, or if they can't they can just chat on that page.
That's the closest thing what I'd approve of. (not like I'm that important, but what ever!
)
Anyhow, integrating other services in the Bitcoin client is bad.
Bitcoin is a finance application, not an entertainment one!
And in my opinion, it only stays a finance application.

It's not a question of security or anonymity, it's a question of scope. This functionality is completely irrelevant to bitcoin's core purpose - to generate and transfer money. IRC clients already exist. The website has a link to both this forum and the IRC channel.
If you're worried people might not know IRC, a link could be added to one of the many existing guides on the web.

It's can be insecure, but I am NOT asking to connect your bitcoin_address with your chat_nickname on IRC.
People will be able ( if they want, as I said it is disabled by default ) to easy chat with other people connected with the project.
They will continue to transfer money with bitcoin_address, that it is anonymous

Erm. I don't think this is a good idea. If someone wants to chat about Bitcoin on IRC s/he can just fire up a normal IRC client and visist the Bitcoin channel on freenode: irc://chat.freenode.net/bitcoin (Edit: Apparently the Forum doesn't like non-http URLs...)
Is it difficult to add a simple ( very simple ) IRC client on the bitcoin client?
It should be not-connected by default.
This will help to connect and increase the community around the project
