$nick() was added after isop, so it's not really an appropriate comparison.

As for size:
Code:
if (X & 1) ...
if (X isodd) ...


So it's actually longer than the most efficient and one of the most intuitive ways of doing the check. Not that it really matters, but just figured I'd point it out since you mentioned code length.

Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.
