I haven't looked at Xchat for quite a long time (been doing other stuff) but
it certainly *used* to do that, I don't know when it broke . When I wrote that 
comment:
	* You hit tab to complete a nick - it would complete to the first match
	* You then hit tab or shift-tab to cycle up and down the nick list
	* This gave weightings to the nicks so it would select the right one
	  next time

for example:

Nicks:
Hello1
Hello2
Hello3

He<tab>		-> Hello1
<tab>		-> Hello2
<tab>		-> Hello3
(Opps, too far! wanted Hello2)
<shift-tab>	-> Hello2

Now:

He<tab>		-> Hello2

(it kindof learns)

I know it's broken in recent Xchats (pre GNU-style completion). I don't know
when and I'm too lazy to fix it. So well done
