+nickfile:
+Since version 0.4 of irssistats, you can use a nickfile to specify nicks to join.
+Each line of the nickfile contains the final nick and a regular expression.
+Examples :
+ royale ^[Rr]oyale : join nicks starting with "Royale" or "royale" to the final nick "royale"
+ royale ^antoine$ : also join the nick "antoine" to the final nick "royale"
+ djakette [Dd]ja : join any nick that contains "Dja" or "dja" to final nick "djakette"
+ <NULL> ^bot\|royale$ : remove "bot|royale" from statistics
+The nickfile must not contain any comments.
+The <NULL> final nick will remove matching nicks from all statistics, except from "Some URLs" and "Some topics"...
+You can also take a look at the "sample.nickfile.txt" in this package.
