People have wierd nicks. To stand out or to be sorted first/last or any other reason. The fact is that completing |``nick or ^nick (...) is not easy; by the time you can use tab completition, you already have done an "expensive" keycombo.

So I'd like to see the following feature implemented:
ignore arbitrary characters in nicks for nick completition

it would be a configurable string, set of characters to ignore. So if it contained p.e. "|€^˛", once could tab complete ^nickname or °ni^ckname (...) without hassle, the name would appear as "nick" for the tab completition purposes, typing nick\t would be enough.
