+======Synopsis:======
+__nick__ [<new nickname>]
+======Description:======
+The __NICK__ command allows you to change your nickname.  If you try to
+change to a nickname that someone else is using, you will get an error
+message to that effect and your nickname will be unchanged.  Nicknames
+are CASE-INSENSITIVE.
+If you do not specify a new nickname, your current one is displayed.
+The maximum length of nicknames is determined by the server you are using.
+The traditional nickname length is 9 characters.  On dalnet type servers
+the length is 30 characters.  As with all server features, it varies from
+server to server.
+The protocol defines as alphabetical characters the ascii characters from
+('A') through 125 ('}').  Characters 65 through 93 are equivalent to
+the corresponding characters 97 through 125, as such:
+                    ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]
+                    abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}
+The [, \, ], (upper case) and {, |, } (lower case) letters are used as
+the 7-bit ascii substitutes of some european national characters,
+particularly scandanavian characters.  It is important to note that the
+two nicknames "[testnick]" and "{testnick}" are, in fact, the **SAME**
+nickname in irc, just as "testnick" and "TESTNICK" are the same.
+A nickname shall be composed of an alphabetical character (as defined)
+followed by some number of alphanumeric characters, the total number of
+characters not to exceed the server's maximum nickname size (as defined).
+======Examples:======
+To change your nick to foobar:
+      /nick foobar
+To display your current nickname:
+      /nick
