     Just as a note, while this will work for the GuestXYZ case (assuming
your IRC servers don't allow users to use those nicks normally), this
won't solve the general case because of lag.  For example, if someone
changes their nick to, say, NewNick before Services checked that nick,
but the nick change message didn't reach Services until after the check,
you'd get a collision in the middle.
