[IRCServices Coding] UnrealIRCd - PREFIX_AQ

     I don't know how these prefixes are implemented; assuming they use
ordinary nickname change commands, Services will recognize them, but users
will need to link the prefixed nicknames to their regular nicknames or they
will lose privileges on the channel (which could potentially result in mode
change loops).  I have no plans to add specific support for such prefixes.

     No, there isn't.
