gollark: i.e. two people try and register with the same nick at exactly the same time, and then it has two people with the same nick because each time it checks it hasn't been written yet, and then everything breaks horribly.
gollark: But then I realized "OH APIOFORMS, that is probably vulnerable to weird race conditions".
gollark: So I thought "well, I'll just make it check if the nick is in use when it gets the NICK command".
gollark: However, this does not actually stop multiple people having the same nick, which is no.
gollark: Basically, osmarksunnecessaryIRCserver™ receives connections from clients, for purposes. They are not actually considered registered until they set a nickname. So I currently have it loop and receive messages until it gets `NICK bees` or whatever, at which point it sends the welcome messages, write-locks the global state struct™, writes in the new client connection, and adds the nick to the in-use map.
