Details

If there is NOIDPREFIX support indicated in the 005 message, we could somehow indicate registered vs. unregistered users.
From the information in the bugs, it sounds like two ways to implement the same thing (go freenode!), but since their entire website is screwed it's hard to know. It'd be nice to copy the actual details into the bug. :)
Yes, they're apparently solving the same problem in two different ways. This bug will have some effect on tab-completion. We need to automatically remove the prefix character when matching and add it back depending on the matched nick.
This was announced two years ago but never actually enabled on Freenode as far as I can tell. Do any other networks use it?

The NOIDPREFIX spec is dated March 2006, the freenode server I connected to didn't advertise the NOIDPREFIX feature, and I can find no references suggesting anyone is actually using it - or really considering using it. It seems the basename part of the spec in particular (you register the base name and can use any extended derivative of it) was controversial, too. Unless a network is actually using this feature (Hyperion, the freenode server software, does actually support it AFAIK but it is not enabled), I'm proposing we WONTFIX this.
