Right now the watch module only allows one mask per ID. Having multiple masks per ID would be simpler and a lot cleaner in my opinion.

<*watch> ------
<*watch> Id: 1
<*watch> HostMask: *!*@unaffiliated/kindone
<*watch> Target: *kindone
<*watch> Pattern: *
<*watch> Sources: #*
<*watch> DetachedClientOnly: No
<*watch> DetachedChannelOnly: No
<*watch> ------
<*watch> Id: 2
<*watch> HostMask: *!uid3688@gateway/web/irccloud.com/*
<*watch> Target: *kindone
<*watch> Pattern: *
<*watch> Sources: #*
<*watch> DetachedClientOnly: No
<*watch> DetachedChannelOnly: No
<*watch> ------
<*watch> Id: 3
<*watch> HostMask: *!*@1.2.3.4
<*watch> Target: *kindone
<*watch> Pattern: *
<*watch> Sources: #*
<*watch> DetachedClientOnly: No
<*watch> DetachedChannelOnly: No
<*watch> ------

Suggested output:

<*watch> ------
<*watch> Id: 1
<*watch> HostMask: *!*@unaffiliated/kindone
<*watch> HostMask: *!uid3688@gateway/web/irccloud.com/*
<*watch> HostMask: *!*@1.2.3.4
<*watch> Target: *kindone
<*watch> Pattern: *
<*watch> Sources: #*
<*watch> DetachedClientOnly: No
<*watch> DetachedChannelOnly: No
<*watch> ------

Maybe add these commands to deal with the masks:

/msg *watch addmask id1 *!*@new.mask.goes.here.com
/msg *watch delmask id1 *!*@unaffiliated/kindone

Right now when I want to watch someone who has either more than one known nick, or multiple connections it gets really bad and cluttered.

For example: I'm currently watching about 6 people, yet I have 50 something different ids to maintain. So +1 for making that a lot easier.
