I agree.. It makes it quite difficult to see if someone is just
evading bans (with a split or so) or was invited to the channel by a
chanop.

Hmm. I wonder if I am the only one with the opinion of not making it
override +b. But overriding +l/k would imho make sense. What do people
think about the +k overriding? Do you think it comes naturally with the
overriding of +b or that it shouldn't override +k ..or ?
