1098 instead of a normal nick!user@host mask, to ban or exempt matching
1099 users. Ban exceptions on acting extbans exempt that user from matching
1100 an extban of that type, and from any channel mode corresponding to the
1101 restriction. Matching extbans may also be used for invite exceptions by
1102 setting +I <extban>.
1106 a:<mask> Matches user with both a matching banmask and real name,
1107 where <mask> is in the format nick!user@host+realname

1110 wildcards (requires the channelban module).
