736 be negated by an eline on *@<ip>, bans on *@<host> can be negated by
737 elines on *@<ip>, or *@<host>, and bans on <ident>@* or <ident>@<host>

1044 Extbans are split into two types; matching extbans, which match on
1045 users in additional ways, and acting extbans, which restrict users

1049 instead of a normal nick!user@host mask, to ban or exempt matching
1050 users. Ban exceptions on acting extbans exempt that user from matching
1051 an extban of that type, and from any channel mode corresponding to the
1052 restriction. Matching extbans may also be used for invite exceptions by
1053 setting +I <extban>.
