Consider this my 2 cents in a solution or workaround. :P

To detect tokens that start with your nick and any characters following: Eg. SunnyD! or SunnyDD -- I realize it has its weaknesses but for people who don't understand $regex() like some do, it can serve as a sufficient substitute.

$wildtok($1-,$+($me,*),1,32)

or to detect any token that matches your current nick. EG. SunnyD

$wildtok($1-,$me,1,32)

Alas this version works the same as any other token identifier.
