Description
Hello, I was thinking it should be possible to validate IRC users using the taxonomy data stored in nickserv (at least on freenode). All it would require is opening an irc connection and running /ns taxonomy accountname and scanning for the line with the verification.

Research direction
Start by locating the IRC integration and the code that validates users or accounts; the issue provides no file or test names. Review how an IRC connection could run /ns taxonomy accountname and identify the verification line. Done means IRC users can be validated from NickServ taxonomy data, with tests covering the verification result.
