I'm actually connected to a non-english server. IRC OPs translated the Nickserv identify request message and obviously ZNC doesn't recognize it.
Allowing people to set up a custom identify request message that will be used to match Nickserv identify request will avoid issues like https://github.com/znc/znc/issues/588 and https://github.com/znc/znc/issues/364

That's why there is SASL: it's protocol which doesn't depend on the
language of the server. If server supports SASL, you can use sasl module
instead of nickserv module.

Server doesn't support SASL. I had to recompile nickserv.cpp adding the identify request message I needed

Since the nickserv module already supports configuring the messages it sends, I don't think it's too much to also support custom matching on inbound notices from services.

I think I'll play with this, and send a PR if I get something working.

It's also possible to use perform for NickServ identifying.
