The whowas command does the exact same thing as whois, but blocks tab complete. We should remove it.

As you said, the help text for /whois should then mention that it will call whowas if appropriate.

I agree, but I couldn't really think of a better string, the current "Get information on a user." is pretty vague to start with. :)

If we can't come up with anything better, I'd like to check this in.

As discussed on IRC, everything more detailed is more confusing for little gain.
