Well, both me and Ryan use rcirc with BitlBee, too, and I don't see how this would be particularly useful for that. On BitlBee you actually control all the nicks yourself, after all. In any case, I use and like rcirc because it is the "default, simple IRC client". To add a bunch of features for corner cases like this would necessarily break that. So, I think it would be much more appropriate to add this feature to ERC, if at all.
