The three dots were actually supposed to represent a wildcard; I'm almost
certain that it meant that the regular expression was matching ^thank

I see in the code now that the expression is:

    if (m/^stop\s*$/i || m/^quit\s*$/i || m/^--\s*$/ || m/^thank(?:s|\s*you)?\s*$/i || m/^kthxbye\s*$/i) {

Yet, thinking about it, it doesn't seem like we should actually care
about all those forms, because they get silly real fast... the reference
card could easily just list a few essential forms (one word-based and one
signature-based).
