Hybrid supports it as a gecos ban mode, the only network I know it is used on
is freenode (although I have never actually seen it used). I guess that is why
irssi treats it as a list mode.

005 numeric support would be nice and solve many problems like this but I
don't think it's trival to add to Irssi either.
