It would be very useful if it was possible to kick a client from a bouncer. Inevitably, clients that need kicking appear, whether ghost clients or otherwise, and it would be nice to be able to kick them off.

Usually, clients autoreconnect to server if kicked. So this wouldn't help much.

There are some distinctly broken clients, a couple relays come to mind, where forcing a reconnect is the most effective option for getting them to work.

That's the main usecase that I can think of.
