  42 I have to be in class in about 6 minutes, so I'll just summarize it this way:
  43
  44 The way the parser in ircd is written, that is impossible.  The RAW command
  45 just sends stuff RAWly to the services' uplink without services' considerring
  46 what the text actually says.  However, the server they go to should throw this
  47 out or misunderstand it because of the space.

  49 SVSNICK jane joe blow TS
  50
  51 Would, if it worked at all, change jane's nickname to joe.
