The !nick filename has developed into a standard.
Perhaps whoever developed this 'standard' should have taken more time to investigate any incompatibilities.
As you indicated, the !nick <command> exists to request a common command off a unique client to reduce being bombarded by many clients running the same script/program. The obvious 'next step' to this problem is to not have the command shown to other clients at all.
This is of course the 'logical thing', but as we're all well aware where the majority of these commands are going, logic there is about as rare as an untrojaned file.
Lets pay homage to those great people in their wonderful channels who think the level of text scroll in channel is proportional to their level of 'l33tness', who not only ignore but persist in breaking the solutions.
