57 <   - Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as
58 <     channelmode +r (registered channel)
59 <   - Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected
23 <     client notices now go to new usermode +j

25 <   - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
