-ircu uses nick chasing for whowas, but also for targetting /kill, /kick, /mode o/v, in case a nick isnt found, the whowas history is check and the intented victim is chased (time limit is 30 seconds)
-
-example without this patch:
-00:01 > NICK newnick
-00:01 > MODE oldnick +w
-00:01 < oldnick!user@host NICK newnick
-00:01 < irc.quakenet.org 403 newnick oldnick :no such channel
-usermode change failed because of the nick change getting in the way
-
-example with this patch:
-00:01 > NICK newnick
-00:01 > MODE oldnick +w
-00:01 < oldnick!user@host NICK newnick
-00:01 < newnick!user@host MODE newnick +w
-usermode change succeeded because ircd uses whowas history and found the previous user with this nick was this user
-much friendlier and simply achieved by using information already available
