To further muddy the waters, a large number of server variants actually
do support listing with wildcards. Thankfully, there is a recognised
detection mechanism to find out *if* it is supported: RPL_ISUPPORT
(005)'s ELIST token. (I'm not certain *everything* uses this, but if it
doesn't, well... bad luck for them?)

See: http://www.irc.org/tech_docs/005.html

Basically, you want to look for 'M' in ELIST's value if I remember
rightly.
