I don't really know the right terminology, but in rcirc there seem to be two sorts of conversation buffers -- "private" buffers, where your output always goes to a specific person, and "shared" buffers where you use "user:" as a prefix to send to "user". In the latter ("shared") buffers, it might make sense to do something special with word-colon prefixes -- using an invalid username already seems to get an error, at least using bitlbee -- but it doesn't really in "private" conversation buffers, where such syntax doesn't seem to be treated specially (though for whatever reason, nick completion still works!). I probably have some of the details wrong, so please correct me, but it seems like a feature such as you propose would need to be active only in "shared" conversation buffers.
