@RicJames: Only if you take this snippet seriously. It's for fun more than anything.
@Jethro_: Thanks, I didn't consider any of those. But wouldn't your "spy $1-" repeat the alias, since in the alias it has "$$1-" at the end of:
.msg %spy.relay $+($chr(3),10,<,$chr(3),7,$nick,$chr(3),10,>) $+($chr(3),7,$$1-)
I mean, it'd say the message twice, wouldn't it?
