Details:
When the list of configured nicknames is exhausted, generate new alternatives
based on the primary nickname. An algorithm based on irssi would work: keep
appending an underscore until the nickname is at least 9 characters long, then
truncate to 9 characters and overwrite a number at the end of the nickname.
e.g. irc.server_default.nicks = "abc,def,ghi,jkl"
Try:
abc
def
ghi
jkl
abc_
abc__
abc___
abc____
abc_____
abc______
abc_____1
abc_____2
...
abc____99
Reconnecting repeatedly just because there are no more nicknames to try isn't
appropriate behaviour.
