I guess ignoring the password arg means some folks currently using this
entry point in lisp code may have to call `erc-nickserv-send-identify'
directly instead, depending on their needs. Works for me, but if that's
the plan, I don't think the version I sent fits the bill entirely.

Um, that was mostly me trying out my bandali impersonation (blasphemous,
I know).
