I guess i personally dont see the need, whats wrong with doing something like this...

Code:
on *:text:*:*: {
 var %info = $getinfo($nick)
 if (!%info) return
 if ($1 == $gettok(%info,1,32)) {
  .msg $iif($chan,$chan,$nick) $gettok(%info,2-,32)
 }
}
alias -l getinfo {
 if ($hget(info,$1)) { return $v1 }
}
