Here's a little tidbit that might help some ppl who want a /whowas command:
As soon as you get a private message from someone you don't know, immediately
do a /whois on that person. This will give you that person's address, which
you can then use in place of the nick in the standard /whois command. This way,
you can always track down friends and bothersome users.

Granted, this doesn't work if the person sends you a message and immediately
changes nicks, but in most cases, I've found that I can get in a /whois before
they change their nick.
