<PRE>I think that what Adam was referring to is something similar to how you can
link nicknames together so that you can attain the privileges that have been
attached to any of them through any in the linkage set.  However this would
be different in that it would be limited to that session instead of a
permanent linkage.  Or more simply put, identify to nickserv as being a user
without actually holding that nickname.  In fact the second description is
better because it doesn't necessarily mean that the nickname your using
needs to be registered or otherwise documented anywhere else within
services.  Quite a handy method for escaping private message floods or just
anyone who wants to talk with you.

Though there would then be issues with memoserv.  Perhaps modifying the
memoserv format (or allowing only one of two formats) to be used which would
include a 'from' token as well as a to token.  The memoserv feature alone
would be a good idea as it could be VERY useful to send messages from a
nickname without necessarily being that nickname, only linked to it.

(For example if a user has a robot programmed to do something and they trust
it; the bot could be linked to their nickname and send messages through that
nickname.  Or another example which would be more common; the user has many
nicknames and is using one in one channel when they receive a memo.  Without
having to change their name to respond they could use the more familiar
nickname to send a reply back.)

A second thought occurs though that services may only keep track of
registered names and otherwise operate in a way that would hinder the first
idea.  I don't know enough C/C++ to even think of reading the source to know
for sure, but just the concept design seems like this might be difficult to
pull off.
