Actually I wanted any numeric that could say "hey client, you can send WATCH now". But I've found it..

Watch support is now triggered by the WATCH= token in numeric 5,
not specifically associated with DALnet servers. Also, mIRC will only
request N WATCH nicks as indicated by WATCH=N, plus one extra nick to
trigger the "Maximum size for WATCH-list is N entries" message from
the server.


It seems it's not possible to override it, "raw 5:*:*:{ halt }" doesn't stop it from being sent.
Also, I forgot ISON would have to be overriden as well, for servers that don't support WATCH.. anyway..
