1/ overriding +b is a problem because it becomes difficult
to know if the user is evading the ban, or being invited.

2/ overriding +l seems fine,

3/ overriding +k is the same as giving out the key, thus
pointless.


#1 is by far the interesting part, and I believe the point
raised is a valid concern.
a way to solve the problem is to have some kind of notice
sent by the user's server when he's overriding a ban thanks
to an invite.  It's annoying:

* most likely the information will be in a message separate
from the join, which means that most bots/scripts will never
get it right
* I can't find any good/elegant way to do this.
