Description

I need ability to set nickname on Cyrrrilic to my full name in jabber MUC.

But seems it is not allowed because of nick_ok function not always called with irc instance, sometimes with NULL as first arg.

https://github.com/bitlbee/bitlbee/blob/cc0ad0aacf7e0cbea07e333642e006e1bb3ebee4/nick.c#L358

So as solution for myself I use this patch:

#define ALLOW_OWN_NICK_IN_UTF8 1

if (

(irc && (irc->status & IRC_UTF8_NICKS))

(ALLOW_OWN_NICK_IN_UTF8) ) {

I am not sure if it is safe to have own nick in UTF-8 from point of view of IRC standards. But if it is possible, please add a normal way to set own nickname to UTF-8.
