Well, both me and Ryan use rcirc with BitlBee, too, and I don't see
how this would be particularly useful for that. On BitlBee you
actually control all the nicks yourself, after all.

In any case, I use and like rcirc because it is the "default, simple
IRC client". To add a bunch of features for corner cases like this
would necessarily break that.

So, I think it would be much more appropriate to add this feature to
ERC, if at all.
