[IRCServices] A ilttle suggestion for set mlock

     This is something I've been thinking about for a while, but my major
concern is that it will be too confusing for the users.  Particularly
seeing as the MLOCK command isn't really used that often, it seems simpler
and more easily understandable to me to just have a "set" command and not a
"modify" command as well.  And I have to say the "=" proposal isn't very
intuitive either... if anything, I'd want = to be for setting, and no "="
to mean changing, but that doesn't solve the original problem of the
confusingness of having both ways, plus it raises additional problems by
changing established practice.
