I don't mind about the client angle given other popular IRCd software does this

(though I'm willing to lose this debate)

It seems like it would be best to make only the extban character case sensitive, so users manually typing in ban masks for -b get surprising results as infrequently as possible. A case sensitive extban character would be like modes.

Another alternative might be allowing extbans to be specified by whole words. I guess this was originally not done to avoid having too many ;-)

is this not what the code in this PR currently does?
