 +======Synopsis:======
 +__squit__ <server|mask> <comment>
 +
 +======Description:======
 +This command is used to send a server quit command to another server.
 +Due to the way some servers present themselves on the network, a
 +wildcard mask may be specified for the server to __SQUIT__.  This is
 +generally used in conjunction with [[connect command|CONNECT]], for
 +re-routing the network.
 +
 +**This command should never ever be used for personal vendettas!**
 +
 +======Examples:======
 +To squit irc.foo.com:
 +      /squit irc.foo.com re-routing
 +
 +To squit all of Australia, which is hidden behind a server mask:
 +      /squit *.au why is iceland routing aus?
 +
 +======Restrictions:======
 +This command is limited to irc operators, for reasons that should be
 +obvious.
 +
 +======Other Notes:======
 +Care must be taken when __SQUIT__ing a server mask.  The local server will
 +send the __SQUIT__ to the first server it finds that matches the mask, and
 +it may not be the intended server if the mask is too general.  It is
 +best to avoid masks when possible.
