-> Unfortunately all current IRCNet servers reject a nick with a leading

if we like this way, first we must make servers accept such nicknames;
and when all servers on net (or most of them) will accept it, e can start
using this behaviour; (non-accepting swervers can be delinked, even I don't
like servers with 1-2 years old ircd)
