Recommend servers to reject nicknames such as /quit, in the section about nickname string restrictions.

The protocol doesn't require it, but accepting nicknames starting with a / would be dangerous for most IRC clients, as autocomplete features could result in commands being executed.

This is where that should be added. Might also be good to prevent a nickname from beginning with a prefix mode character to avoid issues with parsing prefixes with multi-prefix.
