  10 The extended-join capability extends the JOIN message to include the
  11 account name, or a placeholder if the user hasn't identified with
  12 services. This capability MUST be referred to as 'extended-join' at
  13 capability negotiation time.
  14
  15 When enabled, the JOIN message will designate the account name of the
  16 user when he/she joins a channel.
  17
  18 The JOIN message is one of the following:
  19
  20     :nick!user@host JOIN #channelname accountname :Real Name
  21
  22 This message represents that the user identified by nick!user@host has
  23 logged in to an acount prior to channel ingress. The penultimate
  24 parameter is the display name of that account. The last parameter is
  25 the user's GECOS.
  26
  27     :nick!user@host JOIN #channelname * :Real Name
  28
  29 This message represents that the user has not logged in to an account
  30 prior to channel ingress. As the penultimate parameter is an asterisk,
  31 this means that an asterisk is not a valid account name (which it is
  32 not in P10 or TS6 or ESVID).
  33
  34 Please see the documentation in account-notify.txt for how to take
  35 advantage of this capability.
