This could possibly be done by a perl plugin. I don't know of any
existing plugins that do this though. You'd have to hook in to a lot of
functions, like displaying messages to the screen and processing user
input, etc.

Other scripts that rely on nicks (like friends.pl f.e.) would probably
still use the real nick. I don't think it's possible to 'overwrite' the
internal list of nicks irssi gathers from the irc server... Or maybe it
is :)
