[IRCServices Coding] Introduced module's Psuedoclient is invalid user.

[Robin Burchell]

Aha - let me guess, you're working on a botserv? ;)

Alas, it's not that simple, Services doesn't know about users on their 
own server (chanserv, nickserv and any other pseudoclients). So really, 
there isn't a way to accomplish this, at least, not easily that we've 
been able to think of yet. (myself craig, and brain did some 
brainstorming on this a while back (last year?), can't remember what we 
ended up thinking.
