1041 Extbans are split into two types; matching extbans, which match on
1042 users in additional ways, and acting extbans, which restrict users

1046 instead of a normal nick!user@host mask, to ban or exempt matching
1047 users. Ban exceptions on acting extbans exempt that user from matching
1048 an extban of that type, and from any channel mode corresponding to the
1049 restriction. Matching extbans may also be used for invite exceptions by
